Editors have great things to say about Scholastica's peer review software
What sets Scholastica apart from other academic journal management systems is its remarkable ease of use. As a journal editor and peer reviewer who tends to feel more than a touch of technophobia, I appreciate the intuitive interface of the software. Besides, Scholastica offers visual appeal and an engaging user experience, translating tasks from the mundane to the exciting.
The Journal of Northwest Semitic Languages started using Scholastica at the beginning of 2018 to streamline our peer review process and it has been absolutely great. Everything is so much easier and faster now. Scholastica is extremely user-friendly and the support excellent. Thank you to the Scholastica team!
