Vidwana

Enterprise publishing platform

The complete journal publishing platform

Run your entire editorial operation in one place — submissions, peer review, copyediting, JATS production, DOIs, and indexing. Built for publishers who want to scale.

End-to-end editorial workflow

Every stage from manuscript to published article, managed in one system.

1

Submission

Authors submit manuscripts through a guided portal with file uploads, co-author details, and metadata.

2

Peer review

Assign reviewers, run multiple review rounds, set due dates, send reminders, and collect recommendations.

3

Editorial decision

Editors track every manuscript through a clear workflow with role-based dashboards.

4

Copyediting

Manage copyediting rounds and revisions with file versioning and author sign-off.

5

Production (JATS)

Convert accepted papers to JATS XML and full text with the built-in production editor.

6

Publishing

Compile issues and volumes, assign DOIs, and publish to a polished journal site.

Signature feature

One XML in. A branded PDF out — automatically.

No more manual typesetting. The moment an article is in JATS XML, the platform generates a clean, professional PDF in your journal's own format — with your logo, layout, headers, and citation style baked in.

  • Generated straight from the article XML — always in sync
  • Your journal’s branding, layout, and typography
  • Consistent formatting across every article, every issue
  • Ready to download, share, and archive instantly
