Abstract

 This paper introduces a Web system for submitting and refereeing papers, which is built by using Server Side Script. The system consists of four sub-systems specialty designed to match the workflows of authors, managers, referees, and editorial staff in case of editing the journal of Japan Association for Medical Informatics (JAMI). It is expected to reduce greatly the workload, cost and time, which was otherwise needed during the course of refereeing and editing of papers. Applying the system to the case of JAMI conference, it was proved that the system contributed much on the editing process, of about one months of reducing the time.
