What is Kliv?
Kliv isn’t a large conference-management suite with fixed workflows — it’s an AI app builder that builds software for you.
You describe the review process you need in your own words, and Kliv builds the real app: the database, the upload flow, the review forms, reminders, decision states, emails, and access rules. You own it, run it on your own accounts, and change it later by asking. It is not a template.
On this page, that app is a submission and peer-review portal with double-blind walls, conflict-aware assignments, and scheduled notifications. Kliv builds all kinds of web apps; this is one.
Why build your own conference review portal?
Many conference systems are built for very large venues. A 340-submission regional conference may need different rules: a rebuttal round, field-specific conflicts, and a committee workflow that the large system does not fit.
Kliv builds the portal around the committee’s review culture. Tomasz, chairing a water-engineering conference, can describe who may see what and when, then get those rules as database facts instead of committee etiquette.
What the review portal holds
Five core records run the cycle and keep the walls in place.
Submissions
Each paper has a PDF, abstract, and number. Author metadata can live separately so reviewers have no path to it.
Reviewer roster
Reviewers have expertise tags, load caps, and conflict lists. A conflicted paper can be hidden before bidding.
Assignments
Each paper can require three readers, balanced against load caps and conflict rules. Late reviews show on the chair dashboard.
Review form
Scores, author comments, and confidential chair comments can live on one review record with different audiences.
Decision
Recommend, approve, notify is a state path with a name and timestamp attached to every step.
An example: Tomasz’s water-engineering conference
Here’s how one committee might use it. It’s only an example — you would describe your own tracks, conflicts, review rounds, deadlines, and decision rules.
Submissions close cleanly
At the deadline, the portal stops accepting uploads. Three hundred forty manuscripts are already separated from author metadata.
Reviewers bid without seeing conflicts
Reviewers see anonymized papers, and conflicted papers are already filtered out. Forbidden pairings cannot be saved.
Late reviews get reminders
Each paper needs three reviews. Late ones trigger scheduled reminder emails in the chair’s wording.
The committee discusses on the paper
Discussion threads sit on each paper, visible to the committee and hidden from authors until decisions are ready.
Decisions keep their history
Track chairs recommend decisions and the program chair approves. Every changed verdict keeps a timestamp and name.
Notifications go out in a batch
Accept and reject emails merge each paper’s scores and author-facing comments, then send together. The program page fills from approved decisions.
Describe the review portal you want
Kliv builds from your description, so include submission volume, review type, conflict rules, review counts, deadlines, decision states, and email timing.
Workshop rolling reviews
Small workshop with decisions within three weeks.
“Build a review portal for our 60-paper workshop. Submissions are reviewed as they arrive, each paper gets two reviews, conflicts hide papers before assignment, and authors receive decisions within three weeks of uploading.”
Journal special issue
Single-blind review and revision rounds.
“Build a submission and review system for a journal special issue with single-blind review, initial submission, revise-and-resubmit, final decision states, and a guest-editor dashboard tracking every manuscript.”
Student symposium
Faculty feedback and poster scheduling.
“Build a portal for our graduate symposium where students submit extended abstracts, each abstract gets one faculty mentor review with written feedback, accepted posters are scheduled into two 90-minute sessions, and emails go out by track.”
What keeps the review blind
Blindness is an access rule. The author table and manuscript table meet only in views the author and chair roles can open. A reviewer session has no route to author names through the screen, API, exports, or search.
Versions keep their trail. Submissions, revisions, and camera-ready files can live in the file store under the paper’s access rule.
Reminders run on schedule. Deadline notices, late-review nudges, and decision batches can use scheduled jobs and committee wording.
Registration can live in the portal if needed. If the venue charges, accepted authors can pay the $215 registration through checkout on your own Stripe account before a slot confirms.
Conference chairs rotate. The portal is what the next chair inherits. Tools a team hands down covers that kind of internal system.
Common questions
What exactly is Kliv?
Kliv is an AI app builder that builds custom web apps from a description. For a conference, it can build submissions, reviews, assignments, conflicts, decisions, emails, and access rules.
Do I get a real app, or a template?
A real app. Kliv builds the database, upload flows, review forms, dashboards, and rules for your committee.
Can I change it after it’s built?
Yes. You can add a rebuttal round, change review forms, adjust reminders, or update decision states later.
Is the double-blind review real?
Yes. Author identities can be outside a reviewer session’s reach in the UI, API, exports, and search.
Can reviewers see each other’s reviews?
Your policy decides. For example, co-reviews can unlock only after a reviewer files their own review.
Does Kliv charge per submission or reviewer?
No. Submissions and reviewer accounts are records in your database; Kliv does not bill by those counts.
What happens after the conference?
The reviews, decisions, and discussions stay in your database. The next edition can start from a snapshot of the same rules with empty tables.
Can conflicts block bidding and assignment?
Yes. Conflict rules can hide papers before bidding and prevent forbidden assignments from being saved.
Can late-review reminders go out automatically?
Yes. Reminder emails can run on a schedule you set.
Can accepted authors pay registration inside the portal?
Yes, if you charge registration. Payment can run through your own Stripe account and control whether a slot confirms.
Can I move off Kliv later?
Yes. The code syncs to your own Git repository, so leaving is a git pull.
