Design and implementation of journal manuscript submission and review system based on SaaS

With the pervasiveness of the success cases of SaaS applications, outsourcing the manuscript submission and review system of periodical presses to SaaS providers becomes a new trend. This study proposes a solution for constructing the journal manuscript submission and review system based on level-3 maturity model of SaaS. In this article, the requirements of the system have been elicited, the architecture has been designed, and the key implementation has been presented. By renting the services provided by the system instead of buying or developing, the periodical presses can not only obtain better technical support, but also save costs. In addition, the periodical press can utilize its agglomeration effect based on SaaS platform and subscribe the value-added services such as journal recommendation service to implicit contributors and reviewer recommendation service to periodical presses which will be helpful to promote the quality and impact factor of the journal.
