Dogma in three minutes

From creating an organization to the editor's decision, including the new document styles. The video is in Spanish.

Everything a review needs

Dogma covers the whole life of a paper, report or thesis: writing, submission, review, revision and the final decision.

✎

Write with confidence

Authors write in a safe subset of LaTeX. The desktop app points out problems as they type, so documents always compile.

❝

Comment on the PDF

Reviewers click any passage of the rendered document to comment on it. No LaTeX needed.

⇄

Compare any two versions: added text underlined, deleted text struck out, changed figures framed.

⤓

Your organization's look

Administrators choose the font, sizes, spacing and margins of every document.

✉

Nobody misses a step

Editors, reviewers and authors get an email when something needs their attention.

Review the document, not the source

Reviewers read the same PDF the author will publish, and comment right where something needs attention.

  • Click a passage to comment on it
  • Recommend accepting, revising or rejecting
  • Authors see reviewers only by an alias

Every version, side by side

When the author uploads a new version, everyone can see exactly what changed, and every earlier version stays available.

  • Changes marked in the PDF
  • New versions go back to the reviewers
  • Each version keeps the layout it was uploaded with

Documents that look like yours

Every document of an organization shares one layout, chosen by its administrators, so reviewers can focus on the content.

  • Six typefaces, each with matching math
  • Text and heading sizes, indent and spacing
  • Paper size and margins

How it works

  1. Write

    Authors write the text, metadata, references and figures in the desktop app. Anything outside the allowed LaTeX is pointed out right away.

  2. Submit

    The app uploads the document to one of the organization's workgroups. The server checks it again and compiles it into a PDF.

  3. Review

    Editors assign reviewers. Reviewers read the document in the browser, comment on any passage by clicking it, and recommend a decision.

  4. Revise

    Authors read the reviews and upload new versions. Anyone can see what changed between versions, and download any version as Word.

Who does what

Authors

Write and upload documents with the desktop app, and read the reviews of their documents.

Reviewers

Review the documents assigned to them. Authors know them only by an alias, such as Reviewer 1.

Editors

Handle the documents of their workgroups: assign reviewers and decide to accept, request revisions or reject.

Administrators

Manage their organization's users and workgroups.

Frequently asked questions

Do authors need to know LaTeX?

Only a small, safe part of it: sections, lists, equations, figures, tables and citations. The desktop app explains anything outside it as they type.

How do people sign in?

With an access token from their organization's administrator. The server keeps only a hash of it.

Can reviewers stay anonymous?

Yes. Authors know reviewers only by an alias, such as Reviewer 1, also in emails.

Is it safe to compile documents written by others?

Documents are checked against the allowed LaTeX before they are compiled, and the compiler runs isolated, without network access.

Can our documents use our own style?

Yes. Each organization's administrators choose the font, sizes, spacing and margins in the organization's settings.
