Journal publishing workflow
From manuscript submission to publication
JournalOS gives journals, editors, reviewers and authors one clear workflow for submissions, editorial checks, peer review, decisions, revisions and publication.
Authors: submit to any Science Catalogs journal from its "Submit your article" button.
Built for journal operations
Editorial work deserves a clear system
Publishing a scholarly journal involves much more than receiving files. JournalOS brings author submission, editorial checks, reviewer invitations, decisions, revision tracking and publication preparation into one controlled environment.
Editorial teams work consistently, and authors and reviewers always see the stage that matters to them.
- Every manuscript has one complete record
- Role-based access for authors, editors and reviewers
- Deadlines, reminders and decision letters in one place
