What "CMD" means

CMD stands for Conference Management Database. CMDManas Conference is a hosted database and workflow system that lets any organiser create a conference, collect structured submissions, run a rigorous double-blind peer review, and manage decisions and revisions — all in one secure place.

A LegalManas sister concern

CMDManas Conference is a branch and sister concern of LegalManas — ignited legal minds. It carries the LegalManas commitment to academic rigour and integrity into the world of conference and peer-review management, giving organisers a trusted, purpose-built home for their events.

Why we built it

Running a conference means juggling submissions, reviewer assignments, deadlines, confidential reviews and revision rounds. Existing tools are powerful but often complex. CMDManas Conference brings the same rigour — Editorial-Manager-style invitations, multi-criteria reviews, revision cycles, and strict confidentiality — in a clean, modern interface that authors, reviewers and editors can pick up in minutes.

What you can do

• Host multiple conferences under one platform, each with its own editors, reviewers and settings.
• Collect abstracts and manuscripts with structured co-authors, themes/tracks and custom questions.
• Invite reviewers who accept or decline, then submit multi-criteria double-blind reviews.
• Issue Accept / Minor / Major revision / Reject decisions and run as many revision rounds as needed.
• Export submissions and reviews to Excel, download all papers as a ZIP, and export your registered users.

Confidentiality first

A submission's content is visible only to its author, the conference editor, and reviewers explicitly assigned to it — and reviewers never see author identities. Nothing is exposed to the public or to other authors.
