Manuscript Submission Systems

A manuscript submission system is the operational entry point for many scholarly publishing workflows. It needs to capture submission information and move the record through editorial and review stages in an organised manner.

GEST supports technology discussions around submission environments, editorial workflow configuration and the movement of manuscript information between authors, reviewers, editors and publishing teams.

A structured submission workflow can help reduce manual coordination and provide clearer visibility of manuscript status. Author information, files, editorial decisions and revisions can remain associated with the underlying submission record.

The submission environment also needs to connect naturally with later production and metadata processes so that information does not have to be repeatedly recreated.
