Abstract

Publication of scientific journals is governed by a management model that controls multiple processes and roles, and affects the quality of the published contents. The advantages of software packages specifically designed for journal management and publishing are described, analysing their relevance to several areas that determine the final quality of the journal (managerial flexibility, efficiency, standardisation, visibility, impact and other added values). Lastly, we present several key points to be considered before choosing one of these software packages, as well as a brief description of the most popular options, both commercial and freely available (usually based on an Open Source code).
