Suppliers​

In the Editorial Management System, once a manuscript successfully passes peer review, it enters the Production Stage. This phase often involves tasks like copyediting, typesetting, and proofing, typically handled by third-party suppliers.

The Journal Management System (JMS) simplifies this process by allowing you to manage all production-related activities directly within a single, intuitive platform—eliminating the need for manual coordination or scattered communication.

Key Features​

  • Invite and onboard production suppliers seamlessly
  • Assign tasks such as copyediting, typesetting, and proofreading
  • Automate task distribution to streamline workflows
  • Enable or disable supplier access as needed from the admin dashboard
