Benefits of technology

The system enhances flexibility and convenience by enabling seamless journal transitions, improved communication, and easy feature additions, making it more user-centered and adaptable to enterprise-scale needs.

Problems solved by technology

All of these existing systems are, to some degree, not convenient to use.
For example, these existing systems only offer a shared database among sister journals, whereas a shared database is not available for non-sister journals, for example, journals that are not owned by related entities.
Thus, it is impossible for these existing systems to accommodate the user's request to switch from a sister journal to a non-sister journal.
Moreover, none of these systems provide convenient interfaces to facilitate the communications between editors, users and reviewers.
In addition, it is difficult to add new features to the current online journal publishing systems.

Embodiment Construction

[0022]FIG. 1 schematically depicts a user registration / deactivation process that is implemented on one or more computers in one or more networks according to one embodiment of the invention. The user registration / deactivation process enables a user to register or deactivate with the journal publishing system. Once the process starts at step 1110, it may encounter one or more of the following four situations:[0023]1) an Editor sends an invitation to a user or a Reviewer;[0024]2) an invited (or unsolicited) user initiates the process to register with the system[0025]3) an invited (or unsolicited) user signs-in to deactivate[0026]4) a system administrator or an Editor decides to deactivate a user

The process steps that are involved in the 4 situations above are explained below.

[0027]First, if, in step 1130, an Editor sends an invitation to a user or Reviewer, the process moves to step 1140 to check the status of the invitation. If the invitation is rejected, then the process moves to st...

Abstract

An online document management system is disclosed. In one embodiment, the online document management system comprises: one or more editorial computers operated by one or more administrators or editors, the editorial computers send invitations and manage peer review of document submissions; one or more system computers, the system computers maintain journals, records of submitted documents and user profiles, and issue notifications; and one or more user computers; the user computers submit documents or revisions to the document management system; wherein one or more of the editorial computers coordinate with one or more of the system computers to migrate one or more documents between journals maintained by the online document management system.

Description

FIELD OF INVENTION[0001]The present invention relates in general to online scientific peer review systems, and in particular to a novel online journal management and publishing solution which is designed to create a flexible, intuitive, intelligent and enterprise scale user-centered solution which is designed in a modular fashion to easily and quickly add new features and offer integration points.BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF PRIOR ART[0002]There exist a number of online scientific peer review systems. All of these systems offer the same basic functions such as interfaces for authors to submit, upload or download articles related to a journal, as well as interfaces for reviewers to review the articles, and for editors to accept or reject articles. A summary of the major existing online scientific peer review systems is provided below.[0003]The first system is an open source online journal publishing system called the “Open Journal System”. It is sponsored by the Simon Fraser University. An o...
