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.

Abstract: A process for protecting sensitive price information from Internet based data collection systems with the steps of: analyzing specific price information and breaking each price down into a sequence of numbers, instead of representing the pricing numbers as a string of text characters on a Web page (in a specific font, etc.), represent them as a sequence of image files, set up the image files to represent each digit of the price, and display the image files sequentially to reflect a continuous pattern of numbers reflecting the actual price. The unique use of image files reflecting digits of a price make it extremely difficult for an automated Internet based data collecting system to mine price or sensitive information from the web page while still permitting users access to this information in a transparent manor. The system includes further comprising the step of randomly assigning the image file names to reduce any discernable patterns.
