Online Paper Submission Tracking Manager

Online Paper Submission Tracking Manager (OPTSM) is an editorial management and manuscript tracking solution developed by DIPEC for academic and publishing environments. The platform is designed to streamline the submission, peer-review, and editorial decision-making process through a centralized online system. Authors can submit manuscripts digitally, monitor review progress, and receive notifications directly within the platform interface. The software emphasizes structured editorial workflows and secure manuscript handling. Its double-blind peer review approach supports confidentiality between reviewers and authors, helping organizations maintain academic integrity and unbiased evaluations. Editors and administrators are provided with role-based access to manage submissions, reviewer assignments, and publication activities efficiently. OPTSM also includes automated communication features, status tracking, and policy-driven compliance measures for plagiarism checks and ethical publishing standards. While the platform appears focused primarily on academic publishing institutions in Nigeria, it offers a practical and lightweight solution for journals and educational organizations seeking to digitize editorial operations without adopting overly complex enterprise publishing systems.
