Editions

OpenConf Professional Edition is an advanced system providing over a dozen modules of extended peer-review and event management functionality. In addition to the Plus Edition features below, the Professional Edition includes priority technical support and the ability to: customize forms, accept payment to make a submission, auto assign reviews on submission, submit review credits to ORCiD, check submissions for plagiarismⓘ, accept multiple uploads per submission, create a program and publish it online for both the web and mobile devices, and other features to facilitate copyright collection for ACM and IEEE events.

OpenConf Plus Edition includes all the basics of a peer-review and abstract management system, plus: technical support, reviewer bidding, committee discussion, reviewer file upload, author rebuttal, online proceedings, custom acceptance types, and the ability to add or remove pre-defined submission, review, and account profile form fields.
