Abstract: A computer implemented process of reviewing a manuscript and determining whether to print the manuscript into a publication substantially reduces the time and cost for authors to deliver the manuscript to journals and publishers. The process also reduces the personnel effort required to process and approve a manuscript on the publisher side. Furthermore, the computer implemented process can timely and accurately track information related to the determination process and the final decision over the manuscript back to the author. As a result, a more efficient and effective manuscript review process can be achieved.
