Technology Fist · Article Management System

The software that turns research into a published record.

Technology Fist builds and operates the Article Management System (AMS), a cloud platform that runs conferences and journals end to end. On the publishing plan, one annual subscription carries a venue from the call for papers to citable, DOI-ready publication.

Who We Are

Built for academic publishing, run by Technology Fist

Article Management System exists to make running a conference or journal straightforward - from the first call for papers through peer review, decisions, camera-ready production, and publication. We built it for chairs and editors who'd rather spend their time on the academic work than wrestling with spreadsheets and email threads.

Every conference, journal, and preprint collection on the platform runs independently and securely, under its own editorial control - we provide the infrastructure; you run your event your way.

  • Roles from the programThe chair moderates, the presenter is called by name; authors, guests and attendees each have one seat.
  • A chair's consoleNext paper with a countdown, spotlight, mute all, lobby, and recording to the chair's own computer.
  • Everything a session needsQ&A with a private line to the chair, polls, reactions, live captions, slides beside the video, time warnings, and a session summary emailed to the chairs.
  • Attendance that countsEvery minute in a room is recorded per person; attendance certificates are issued against it.

Apply to publish

Independent venues that publish here also pay a one-time setup fee and a small per-published-paper processing fee - charged to the venue, never to authors. Author APCs apply only on Technology Fist-owned and umbrella venues. A Custom plan covers negotiated agreements. The full fee model, comparison and disclaimers live on the pricing page.
