Scholar-led conference publishing
Your scholarly conference.
One connected workflow.
Bring proposal submission, peer review, proceedings publication and the conference app together with OAPA.
Support the people doing the scholarly work, from the first proposal to the research shared beyond the conference.
Authors before publishers.
Knowledge, held in trust.
01 / The workflow
Support the work.
Connect every stage.
A proposal becomes part of a scholarly conversation through review, publication and presentation. OAPA connects the processes that support that journey.
01 / Proposal submission
Start with the contribution.
Give authors a place to submit their conference proposals and organisers a connected process for considering them.
- Bring proposals and author information into the conference workflow.
- Keep submissions connected to the assessment that follows.
- Support a clear path from initial contribution to editorial consideration.
For authors and organising teams
02 / Peer review
Make room for scholarly judgement.
Coordinate peer review, author revisions and editorial decisions within the same scholarly workflow.
- Support reviewers as they assess contributions.
- Connect feedback and revisions to the submission.
- Keep acceptance decisions with the conference’s editorial team.
For reviewers, authors and editors
03 / Proceedings publication
Give the work a life beyond the event.
Bring accepted contributions into published proceedings, creating an openly accessible record of the scholarship shared at your conference.
- Connect accepted work to the publication process.
- Publish proceedings through OAPA’s scholarly publishing environment.
- Link published papers with their conference presentations.
For authors, editors and readers
04 / Conference app
Bring the program and the research together.
Help delegates navigate the conference, choose their sessions and explore the scholarship behind each presentation.
- Browse the program across conference days and rooms.
- Open session details, author information and abstracts.
- Build a personal schedule, save favourites and follow links to published papers where available.
For delegates and presenters
The review process, publication scope and timing are agreed around your conference.
02 / Lasting scholarly value
The conference ends.
The scholarship continues.
Conference communities invest in ideas, feedback and discussion. Connecting that work to open proceedings gives readers a way to return to the research and authors a publication to share.
OAPA brings publishing infrastructure and scholarly support together, with respect for your community’s identity and editorial judgement.
03 / The delegate experience
Find your sessions.
Follow your interests.
The conference app brings the wider workflow into the delegate’s day.
See what’s on.
Browse the program across days and rooms. Open a session to read about the presentation and its authors.
Make the day yours.
Choose sessions for My Schedule and save favourites to return to as you explore the conference.
Go back to the research.
Follow a presentation through to its published paper, where available, and continue reading beyond the session.
04 / Planning your conference
Start with your community.
Who is this for?
Scholarly societies, universities, journal teams and conference committees seeking a connected process for proposals, peer review, proceedings and delegate access.
Who makes the scholarly decisions?
Your conference’s editorial team leads assessment and acceptance decisions. OAPA provides infrastructure and support that respects editorial independence.
What do we agree before getting started?
We discuss your submission and review process, the contributions you intend to publish, your program structure and the support you need. Publication timing and responsibilities form part of that conversation.
How is the service priced?
Conference support is quoted to the agreed scope. Contact OAPA with your event dates, expected number of submissions and publishing plans to start the discussion.
