What's slowing you
down right now

If you recognise these, you're not alone. Most journal teams in India are running on the same broken system.

📊
Updating Excel every time a paper status changes
You open the sheet, find the row, change the status, save. Then someone else changes it and you have version conflicts.
📧
Searching emails for author or reviewer conversations
That one email from Dr. Sharma three weeks ago — which inbox is it in? Which thread?
🗂️
No clear view of which paper is in which stage
You have to open Excel, filter, scroll — just to answer a simple "where does this stand?" question.
📱
Constant follow-ups and manual coordination
Sending individual WhatsApp messages or emails to follow up with reviewers every week.
👁️
No visibility on staff workload
You don't know which team member is overloaded and which has capacity without asking them directly.

manage your journal
