Web-based Paper Submission Management System of The Korean Society of Medical Informatics / 대한의료정보학회지

ABSTRACT

The scientific societies have provided with important resources of scientific research products, archived in journals and proceedings. Use of advanced information technology would benefit the scientific information management processes. Korean Society of Medical Informatics (KOSMI) has developed a web-based and XML-enabled paper submission management system since 2002. This paper describes KOSMI's a web-based paper submission management system which manages the processes of submitting, reviewing and distributing papers online. We demonstrate in the paper management system XML (eXtensible Markup Language) technology which is an emerging standard for information exchange on the World Wide Web. One user's request, the management program generates an electronic document in an XML format, which can be systematically managed via standardized way of modern information processing. We believe that the current effort will facilitate more scientific information exchange in a standard format and enhance the lead of knowledge-based information society.
