World’s First Zero-Cost Research Manager

All-in-one WordPress plugin for journals, issues, papers, authors, and citations — locked with AES-256 so nothing leaks.

Built by AETHEX for people who actually publish, not play pretend.

BETTER TEAM COLLABRATION

Stop Pretending You’re Productive

Run journals, issues, papers, and authors in one plugin. Automate citations, enforce ORCID, and lock it down with AES-256 while your competitors keep clicking themselves into mediocrity.

Integrations That Don’t Choke.

CrossRef, Semantic Scholar, arXiv — wired in minutes. Add keys, set a schedule, and let WJM chew through queues, rate limits, and retries while your competitor’s cron jobs cry.

Authors Without the Lies.

ORCID enforced on submission. Names, affiliations, bios — pulled clean, deduped, and synced across journals. No more garbage profiles from lazy editors.

Citation Sync That Doesn’t Panic

Role-based limits, exponential backoff, real-time logs. Nightly updates or manual “Sync Now” — without setting your quota on fire.

PRODUCTIVITY REDEFINED

Your Journal. Exposed.

Citations, submissions, decisions, acceptance rates, reviewer load — tracked live, exportable, and audit-ready, so you can see exactly where you’re killing it or embarrassing yourself.

Editorial reminders that bite

Slack reviewers? They get auto-nudged, deadlines shoved in their face, and decision emails fired off — no excuses.

FAST • SECURE • PRODUCTION-READY

Built for Academic Heavyweights, Not Hobbyists.

Async queues, role-based throttling, AES-256 key vault, and audit logs so deep they could bury a decade of sloppy edits. From one journal to an entire faculty empire — it doesn’t flinch.

Performance

Background queues, batched API calls, and indexed tables so syncs stay fast even when your server’s gasping.

Research & Development

Maaz Ahmad and Shariq Hashme form the quietly dysfunctional brain trust behind this project.

PRICING PLANS

Pricing: We Don’t Extort You.

No pro tier. No paywalls. Commercial use allowed under GPL-2.0-or-later. No ads. No creepy tracking. If you’re still paying for some “premium” journal plugin, congratulations — you’re the idiot they’re milking.

PROOF

Less babysitting. Faster results. Cleaner data.

From editors, reviewers, and IT leads who actually run WJM — not the ones still stuck in spreadsheet hell.

Time-to-first-decision dropped from weeks to days once we enabled ORCID and reviewer reminders.

The security posture is serious—AES-256 keys, CSRF on every form, audit logs. Our IT signed off in one review.
