A manuscript management system (MMS) is a software application that helps authors and publishers manage the entire manuscript lifecycle, from submission to publication. MMSs typically provide features for tracking manuscripts, managing revisions, and communicating with reviewers and editors.
MMS offers a number of benefits to authors and publishers, including: * Increase efficiency: MMS can help authors and publishers save time and money by automating many of the tasks involved in managing manuscripts. * Improved accuracy: MMS can help improve the accuracy of manuscript management by providing a central repository for all manuscript-related information. * Improved Communication: MMS can help improve communication between authors, publishers, and reviewers by providing a safe and easy way to share files and comments.
