Enterprise-Grade Security for Academic Publishing
Your manuscripts deserve the highest level of protection. ReviewMatch combines zero-download viewing, personalized watermarks, and end-to-end encryption to keep unpublished research secure.
Multi-Layer Security
Comprehensive protection at every level of the platform.
Zero-Download Viewer
Manuscripts are rendered in-browser using PDF.js streaming. No files are ever downloaded to the reviewer's device.
Personalized Watermarks
Every document view is overlaid with the reviewer's name, email, and IP address to deter unauthorized sharing.
Encrypted Transfers
All data is encrypted in transit with TLS 1.3 and at rest with AES-256 encryption. Zero plaintext storage.
Audit Logging
Every document access, view session, and user action is logged with timestamps and IP addresses for full traceability.
Role-Based Access Control
Granular RBAC ensures users only access what they need. Enforced at both API and database levels.
COI Auto-Detection
Automatic conflict-of-interest detection via ORCID co-authorship graphs and institutional overlap analysis.
Manuscript Protection
Our zero-download document viewer ensures manuscripts never leave the secure environment. Every viewing session is personalized, tracked, and protected.
