Build an Online Research Paper Publishing and Peer Review System

Traditional academic publishing involves lengthy email threads, manual peer reviews, and slow publication cycles. A digital platform can automate submissions, assignments, review tracking, and acceptance decisions, making the research ecosystem faster and more transparent.

Build an online system where researchers submit papers, editors assign reviewers, reviewers evaluate and score papers, and editors make publication decisions. Accepted papers can be published in online journals automatically, creating a smooth pipeline for knowledge dissemination.

Authors submit papers online. Editors assign 2–3 reviewers automatically or manually. Reviewers evaluate papers, leave structured feedback, and score them. Editors decide whether to accept, reject, or request revisions. Accepted papers are published online in a searchable repository.

• Researchers sign up, upload manuscripts, enter metadata (title, abstract, keywords).
• Editors assign reviewers based on expertise and conflict-of-interest checks.
• Reviewers complete evaluation forms, scoring originality, clarity, methodology, etc.
• Editors review feedback, make decisions (accept, minor revisions, reject).
• Accepted papers are published online with DOIs, downloadable PDFs, and citation formats.
