AbstractWiz
What it is
AbstractWiz is a web platform for academic conference, workshop, and event organizers managing abstract submissions and review. Organizers can accept plain text, rich text, or file submissions, add fields or criteria to forms, and assign submissions to invited reviewers based on preferred expertise. Reviews can be hidden from authors, and the workflow supports blind review and multiple stages. Automated notifications and customizable bulk emails help organizers communicate with selected groups. A dashboard tracks submission and review progress; filtered lists can produce reports, and accepted abstracts can be compiled into a customizable book for browser-based printing. Organizers can export the database to a spreadsheet, while importing submissions is excluded from the Free plan. Free costs $0 per event and allows up to 20 submissions. Standard costs $270 once per event, with unlimited submissions and all features. A Custom option offers event setup and reviewer and committee addition and assignment, with pricing by inquiry. A trial event can be created without card details. The maker says the platform emerged from Stellenbosch University in 2003.
