Review Form

The Review Form is important within the Journal Management System (JMS), designed to standardize and streamline the evaluation process for submitted manuscripts. It ensures that reviewers provide structured, consistent, and comprehensive feedback, helping the editorial team make well-informed decisions about publication.

This section explains the importance of the review form, its customization options, and how to configure it for your journal.

Is it necessary to include a reviewer form with every review request?

This allows editorial users to attach or use the preset review form when submitting review requests to reviewers.

Select Yes to attach a predefined review form to reviewer invitations.
Select No to allow reviewers to provide feedback without a structured form.

Allow Editors to Modify Review Forms

Select Yes to enable editorial users to change the review form before sending it to reviewers.
Select No to restrict modifications to the default journal review form.

Reviewer Form Attachments

Confirm & Save

After selecting the file, click Upload or Save Changes to attach it to the review process.

This feature ensures that reviewers receive standardized guidelines and evaluation criteria, streamlining the manuscript review process.

Production Workflow

The Production Workflow in the Journal Management System (JMS) enables seamless tracking of accepted manuscripts through the post-acceptance process. Administrators can configure the workflow system to streamline production and ensure efficient management of journal publications.

Enable Production System Integration

Would you like to integrate the production system (Post-Acceptance Tracking) with the Journal Management System (JMS)?

This feature helps assign production task, track production status, manage proofing workflows, and streamline the publication process efficiently.

Select Yes to enable integration.
Select No to manage production manually.

Save and Apply Settings

Once configured, click Save Changes to activate the workflow settings.

This feature helps journals efficiently manage the transition from acceptance to publication while maintaining clear oversight of each article’s production progress.

DOI Configuration

DOI (Digital Object Identifier) configuration in Kryoni JMS allows you to generate unique, permanent, and trackable identifiers for published journal content such as articles and issues. This guide explains how to configure DOI settings effectively.

Step 1: Access the DOI Configuration Page

From the top navigation bar, go to Journal Configuration
You will see the DOI Configuration screen (as shown in the image).

Step 2: Enter DOI Prefix

In the field DOI Prefix – Registered DOI Prefix for this journal, the prefix will already be pre-filled as configured in the Publisher House details during initial setup.
Example: 10.4989888
This prefix remains the same for all content in your journal.

Step 3: Select Assignment Stage

From the dropdown Which stage should assign DOI?, choose when the DOI should be assigned.
Recommended: Production Stage → ensures DOIs are only generated once the final version of content is ready.

Step 4: Configure DOI Suffix Pattern

The suffix is the part of the DOI that uniquely identifies each article or issue.

Choose whether you want to assign DOIs to Articles, Issues, or both.
Enter a Suffix Pattern for each type.

info

You can use predefined codes to create dynamic suffixes. These codes automatically pull metadata like journal initials, year, volume, article ID, etc.

Step 5: Refer Suffix Pattern Codes

On the right side of the screen, a list of available codes is provided:

Code	Description	Example Output
%ji	Journal Initials	IJCMR
%jab	Journal Abbreviation	Int J Cranio Maxillofac Rehabil
%jac	Journal Acronym	IJCSR
%oissn	Online ISSN	2589-XXXX
%pissn	Print ISSN	0975-XXXX
%vol	Volume Number	12
%iss	Issue Number	3
%year	Year	2025
%aid	Article ID	00125
%sid	Supplementary File ID	S01
%p	Page Number	45
%x	Custom Identifier	YOURCODE
%seq	Sequence Number	0001, 0002…
%date	Date (YYYYMMDD)	20250922

Step 6: Example Patterns

For Articles:

Pattern: %aid.%year.%date

Example DOI → 10.4989888/00125.2025.20250922
For Issues:

Pattern: %ji.%vol-%iss.%seq

Example DOI → 10.4989888/IJCMR.12-3.0001

tip

Use separators like ., -, or _ for readability.

Step 7: Save Configuration

After entering the DOI Prefix and Suffix Patterns, click the SAVE button (top-right corner).
Kryoni JMS will now automatically generate DOIs according to your settings during the selected workflow stage.

note

The DOI for individual articles can be assigned during the production stage.

Step 8: Best Practices

Always keep DOI suffixes unique.
Include year, volume, and article ID to avoid duplication.
Avoid using spaces or special characters.
Test DOI patterns with a sample article before enabling them for live journals.
Once configured, DOIs are permanent and should not be changed.

Your DOI configuration is now complete! Kryoni JMS will automatically generate valid DOIs for each article and issue based on the rules you have set.
