[Synopsis] Online Peer Review System

Description

MCS-016Complete Synopsis of OPRS

A Peer reviewed online Journal keeps track of all the articles received by it
using an online system. It has a list of reviewers in which reviewers are added or
deleted. A reviewer can be assigned articles of one area only. An article is
identified by an article id, title, authors (can be more than one), expertise area
and status. On submission of an article, it is sent to two reviewers who are given
a time of two weeks to review the article and send back the comments. You
need not make this process in your system, rather just keep track to whom the
article was sent. When the comments from reviewer’s are received they are
entered in a database. In addition to comments, the reviewer must give a
recommendation which can be – “Accepted”, “Send back for modifications as
per comments”, “Rejected”. All such information is suitably updated in the
online database. An author is asked to check the status of his/her article from
time to time. The system tracks the status of every article. Analyse the
requirements in details and design & develop the online peer-review system for
the online Journal.
