Chandra Prakash Sharma

AI Developer & Publishing Technology Specialist

Twelve years inside academic journal publishing — editorial operations, peer review, and production. I design and ship AI-powered tools that publishers actually use: manuscript integrity screening, reviewer intelligence, and full OJS platforms. Production-grade systems, not demos.

Background

About

I am Chandra Prakash Sharma, founder of CPS TechLabs, based in Prayagraj, India. For over twelve years I have worked inside academic journal publishing — managing editorial operations, submission workflows, and digital dissemination for a multi-journal STM publisher.

Every system on this page began as a problem I encountered repeatedly from within the workflow: manual QC that missed ethics issues, no intelligent reviewer matching, campaigns assembled by hand. I built the tools I wished existed — and deployed them into production.

I develop using AI-assisted engineering methods, which allows me to translate deep publishing domain knowledge into reliable software at a pace suited to operational deadlines — without compromising on production quality.
