19 Feb 2026

Domain: Medical

Portfolio Size: 16 Peer-Reviewed Journals

Previous System: Open-Source Journal Management Software

A well-established dental college was managing 16 academic journals using an open-source journal management platform. While the system initially met basic needs, growing submission volumes and evolving publishing requirements began to expose serious operational limitations.

Over time, the editorial teams started facing multiple technical and workflow challenges that directly affected journal efficiency, author experience, and publication timelines.

• Frequent system downtime

• Slow platform performance

• Compatibility issues with modern browsers

• Errors during submission and review workflows

• Lack of system monitoring and maintenance

• Rigid, pre-defined workflows

• Inability to modify editorial processes

• No flexibility to configure journal-specific policies

• Absence of advanced automation features

• No dedicated technical helpdesk

• Dependence on community forums

• Delayed or no resolution for critical issues

• Heavy reliance on manual interventions

• Limited reporting and analytics

• Poor reporting and analytics

• Fragmented communication between stakeholders

• As a result, editorial teams spent more time managing the system than managing journals.

• Delayed peer review cycles
