Editorial Workflows

Editorial workflow design determines how content moves through a publishing platform. A clear workflow makes it easier for teams to understand what happens at each stage and who is responsible for the next action.

GEST works with the technology structure surrounding editorial operations, including submission configuration, editorial assignment, review processes, revision stages and publication preparation.

Different journals and publishing programmes require different workflows. A platform should therefore be configured around the actual operating model rather than forcing every organisation into an identical process.

Well-defined workflow stages also make technical maintenance easier. When responsibilities and transitions are clearly structured, publishers can identify bottlenecks, improve processes and maintain more consistent publishing operations.
