The Status Board in the Journal Management System (JMS) is a centralized dashboard that provides a real-time, single-page overview of the journal’s editorial workflow. It helps editorial user efficiently track and manage manuscript progress by categorizing submissions into three distinct stages.

Key Workflow Stages​

Submission Stage

  • Displays all newly submitted manuscripts.

  • Allows editors to review initial submissions and assign them to reviewers.

Review Stage

  • Tracks manuscripts that have entered the peer review process.

Production Stage

  • Lists manuscripts that have successfully passed the review stage and are in final formatting.

  • Helps ensure that accepted manuscripts are efficiently prepared for release.

The Status Board serves as a powerful tool for optimizing journal operations, ensuring smooth coordination between submission, review, and publication processes.
