How it Works

From submission to final decision — automated

Five streamlined steps replacing weeks of manual coordination,
powered by AI at every stage.

01

Configure your event or journal

Set up review tracks, submission types, blind review policies, deadlines, scoring rubrics, and committee roles. Multi-track conference and single-journal workflows both supported.

02

Collect abstract and paper submissions

Authors submit through a branded, customizable portal. Structured metadata fields, PDF uploads, and supplementary files are supported. Author dashboards enable revisions until deadline.

03

AI assigns reviewers automatically

PeerSubmit's AI Reviewer Matching engine analyzes submission content and cross-references reviewer expertise profiles to generate ranked assignments with confidence scores and automatic conflict-of-interest detection.

04

Review with AI-generated summaries

Each submission is automatically summarized — methodology, claimed contributions, and quality flags surfaced before a human reviewer opens the file. Review time drops by an average of 40%

05

Decide, notify authors, publish program

Program chairs use the decision dashboard to accept, reject, or request revisions. AI-generated decision briefs synthesize reviewer scores. Automated decision letters go out instantly with one click.

AI Core Capabilities

AI built into the platform — not bolted on

Most tools added AI as a feature. PeerSubmit was built around it.
Every step — from submission to decision — is powered by AI.

01. AI Reviewer Matching

Instantly assigns the best reviewers based on expertise — with confidence scores and conflict detection.

02. Automated Submission Summaries

AI reads every submission and generates a clear summary — so reviewers don’t start from scratch.

03. Quality & Relevance Screening

Automatically flags low-quality, off-topic, or incomplete submissions before they reach reviewers.

04. Decision Intelligence Briefs

Combines reviewer scores and feedback into a clear decision brief — so chairs decide faster and more consistently.

Abstract management & peer review — questions answered

Common questions about PeerSubmit, abstract management software, and AI-powered peer review systems.

Abstract management software is a platform that handles the complete lifecycle of academic abstract and paper submissions — from the initial call for papers (CFP), through peer review and decision-making, to final acceptance and publication. It replaces email chains and spreadsheets with a centralized, automated workflow for conference organizers, program chairs, and reviewers.
A peer review system is a software platform that manages the structured evaluation of academic submissions — abstracts, full papers, or manuscripts — by qualified expert reviewers. Core functions include reviewer invitation and assignment, scoring rubric management, blind review enforcement, review progress tracking, and decision communication. An AI-powered peer review system like PeerSubmit automates reviewer matching using machine learning, generates submission summaries to accelerate evaluation, and produces decision briefs that synthesize reviewer scores — reducing the average peer review cycle from 6–8 weeks to 18–21 days.
PeerSubmit is an AI-first abstract management and peer review system for academic conferences, scientific journals, and research organizations. It centralizes the entire submission and review workflow — collecting abstracts, assigning reviewers via AI, managing review rounds, and sending decisions — in one platform. Unlike legacy tools, PeerSubmit's AI capabilities (reviewer matching, submission summaries, quality screening, decision briefs) are built into the core product, not added as premium features.
PeerSubmit's AI Reviewer Matching engine analyzes each submission's full text, title, keywords, and methodology. It cross-references a structured reviewer expertise database (built from profiles, past publications, and self-declared expertise tags) to generate a ranked list of candidate reviewers with match confidence scores between 0–100%. The system also runs automatic conflict-of-interest checks (institutional, co-authorship, and keyword overlap). Program chairs review and approve suggestions or override them. The full process takes seconds vs. 2–3 days of manual assignment.
Yes. PeerSubmit supports single-blind, double-blind, and open peer review configurations. Blind review settings are configured at the track or event level, and the system enforces anonymity automatically — stripping author metadata from reviewer-facing views without manual intervention. You can run different blind review policies across different tracks within the same event.
EasyChair, Oxford Abstracts, and ConfTool are well-established platforms but were built before AI became practically useful for research workflows. PeerSubmit is architecturally different: AI reviewer matching, automated submission summaries, quality screening, and decision briefs are core platform capabilities — not add-ons or future roadmap items. PeerSubmit also differs in setup experience (minutes vs. steep learning curves), pricing transparency, and a modern interface designed for program chairs who aren't technical users.
Conference management software covers the full event lifecycle including registration, ticketing, attendee management, scheduling, and on-site logistics. Abstract management software focuses specifically on the academic content workflow: collecting submissions, managing peer review, and making acceptance decisions. PeerSubmit is purpose-built for the abstract management and peer review workflow, with AI automation at its core — rather than being a general event tool with abstract submission added as a minor feature. This makes it significantly more capable and easier to use for research communities who don't need full event management.
PeerSubmit offers a free trial with no credit card required. You can set up and test the full platform — including AI reviewer matching — without a payment commitment. Paid plans scale with event size and are designed to be significantly more cost-effective than per-submission pricing models used by some competitors. Visit peersubmit.com/pricing for current plan details.
Most program chairs complete initial setup — including configuring tracks, submission forms, review workflows, and opening the call for papers — in under 30 minutes. PeerSubmit is designed for non-technical users: no developer involvement is required. If you are migrating from EasyChair, ConfTool, or a spreadsheet-based system, our support team can assist with data migration and configuration at no extra cost.
