12 years managing editorial operations at an academic journal publisher. Then building the tools I wished existed — deployed, in use, production-grade. Not prototypes.
A 9-engine quality control system for academic journals. Screens manuscripts before peer review — catching integrity, ethics, and indexing risks before they become an editor's problem.
Complex reviewer intelligence system for journal editorial teams. Goes beyond a simple database — it actively suggests, tracks, and automates the reviewer lifecycle.
Professional email campaign management system built specifically for academic journal outreach. Replaces entirely manual processes with automated, verified, tracked campaigns.
Central access hub tying together the full suite of publishing tools, journal systems, and analytics in one place. The operational backbone for a multi-journal publisher's daily workflow.
Full OJS implementation for a multi-journal open access portfolio. Built from scratch — installation to ongoing management.
Submission to publication — peer review, copyediting, proofing, production, dissemination
Scopus, Web of Science, DOAJ, UGC-CARE compliance requirements and readiness
Open Journal Systems, Crossref/DOI, COPE standards, academic publishing infrastructure
Building production software using AI coding tools — translating domain knowledge into working systems
APIs, background jobs, queues, multi-role authentication, integrations, data workflows
Plagiarism, AI detection, paper mills, citation integrity, COPE compliance screening
I'm Chandra Prakash Sharma, founder of CPS TechLabs, based in Prayagraj, India. I've spent 12+ years inside academic journal publishing — managing editorial operations, submission workflows, and digital dissemination for a multi-journal STM publisher.
That operational depth is where the software comes from. Every tool I've built started as a problem I saw repeatedly from inside the workflow — manual QC that missed ethics issues, no automated reviewer matching, email campaigns assembled by hand. I built the solutions I wished existed.
I work using AI-assisted development tools, which means I translate domain knowledge into working software faster than traditional development allows — without sacrificing reliability.
I hold an MBA in IT & Marketing (A+ grade, AKTU) and certifications in Digital Transformation from IIM Ahmedabad and Project Management from IIT Roorkee.
