What is Fourwaves?

Fourwaves is conference management software for academic conferences: abstract submissions, peer review, registration, event website, program and conference app in one platform, built for researchers at universities, scientific societies and research networks. Fourwaves runs academic conferences of any size, from international society meetings to departmental research days. Who it serves Organizing committees of faculty and graduate students, staff at scientific societies and associations, research office coordinators and professional conference organizers. Events range from research days to multi-track congresses, in person, online or hybrid. How it works A call for abstracts opens with a submission form that authors complete and revise until the deadline. Reviewers score each submission in their own portal, single or double-blind, against the committee's criteria. Accepted work feeds the program, the abstract booklet and the app with no re-keying, and a schedule change shows on the event website and in the app at the same time. Registration forms handle registration types, early-bird rates, discount codes, taxes, invoices and refunds. Card payments land in the organizer's own Stripe, PayPal or institutional gateway account. After the event, organizers issue certificates of attendance, export data to Excel or through the API, and keep the event archived. Cloning it gives next year's committee a head start. Plans Starter is free and covers 25 abstract submissions a year. Essential and Advanced are flat yearly subscriptions sized by submission volume, and Pro is quoted for larger or multi-event organizations. Registrations are unlimited on every plan. Company The team behind Fourwaves started in 2012, when its founders were PhD students running their own conference. The company is based in Quebec City, Canada, keeps data in the province of Quebec, and answers support in English and French, with a median first reply under 5 minutes.

What is COMS?

COMS serves as a comprehensive platform for managing academic and scientific conferences, providing essential support to event organizers by integrating critical management tasks into a single user-friendly interface. Users and administrators can easily access the system with just a web browser and an internet connection. The platform incorporates a chat feature designed to facilitate networking among attendees, regardless of whether they are participating online or in person, and includes a dedicated private chat room for reviewers and administrators. Organizers can efficiently disseminate notifications and updates as needed, while the system accommodates various types of submissions, including abstracts, full papers, and video presentations. The available functionalities allow users to streamline the review process by matching submissions with reviewers based on their expertise. Furthermore, organizers can tailor the review forms, maintain submission anonymity, and closely track the review process's progress. This all-inclusive tool significantly improves the experience for both conference organizers and participants, ensuring a smoother and more engaging event. In this way, COMS not only simplifies the logistical challenges of hosting a conference but also fosters a collaborative environment for scholarly exchange.
