“…In this principal depiction, the digital infrastructure of the editorial management system is presented to foster values such as timeliness and comprehensiveness. Moreover, acceleration, control and efficiency have been main arguments for establishing editorial management systems in the first place ( Jubb, 2015 ; Mendonça, 2017 ), putting pressure on publishers and editors of journals to implement streamlined procedures.…”

“…One of the core areas witnessing the introduction of digital tools is the realm of scientific publishing and peer review in particular ( Jubb, 2015 , pp.16). Many journals now rely on editorial management systems ( Taubert, 2012 ), which are supposed to support the administration and decision making of editors, while aiming at making the process of communication faster and more transparent to both reviewers and authors ( Mendonça, 2017 ). Editorial management systems are digital infrastructures processing the submission, evaluation and administration of scholarly articles.…”

“…Editorial management systems are digital infrastructures processing the submission, evaluation and administration of scholarly articles. According to Mendonça (2017) , they are “designed to perform the management of manuscripts from submission to final decision, offering greater control, automation and logging of processes that were once manually done”.…”

“…Some authors claim transformative changes would be at play for practices of editors handling manuscripts: Taubert (2012) for instance has stated that journal editorial management systems standardise the peer review process and constrain the degrees of freedom for editors. On the other hand, it has been argued that editorial management systems support the editorial role and reproduce or may even increase the instruments to regulate, administrate and ultimately control the process ( Mendonca, 2017 ). One of the reasons for the rising significance of editorial practices is the increase of self-control of scholarly journals emerging from the digital transformation of the process induced by the editorial management system.…”

Many journals now rely on editorial management systems, which are supposed to support the administration and decision making of editors, while aiming at making the process of communication faster and more transparent to both reviewers and authors. Yet, little is known about how these infrastructures support, stabilize, transform or change existing editorial practices. Research suggests that editorial management systems as digital infrastructures are adapted to the local needs at scholarly journals and reflect main realms of activities. Recently, it has been established that in a minimal case, the peer review process is comprised of postulation, consultation, decision and administration. By exploring process generated data from a publisher’s editorial management system, we investigate the ways by which the digital infrastructure is used and how it represents the different realms of the process of peer review. How does the infrastructure support, strengthen or restrain editorial agency for administrating the process? In our study, we investigate editorial processes and practices with their data traces captured by an editorial management system. We do so by making use of the internal representation of manuscript life cycles from submission to decision for 14,000 manuscripts submitted to a biomedical publisher. Reconstructing the processes applying social network analysis, we found that the individual steps in the process have no strict order, other than could be expected with regard to the software patent. However, patterns can be observed, as to which stages manuscripts are most likely to go through in an ordered fashion. We also found the different realms of the peer review process represented in the system, some events, however, indicate that the infrastructure offers more control and observation of the peer review process, thereby strengthening the editorial role in the governance of peer review while at the same time the infrastructure oversees the editors’ performance.

La incertidumbre de las revistas científicas colombianas con Publindex

The colombian National Bibliographic Index, Publindex, has defined during the last two decades the management and editorial quality, the dissemination and even the number of scientific journals indexed in Colombia 1. The criteria with which Publindex accepts a scientific journal and qualifies it in this index are the road map of a large number of editorial committees and universities. These criteria have not changed much since their inception and corresponded to a minimum editorial approach (ISSN registration, creation of editorial committees, percentage of institutional endogamy, punctuality in publication, among others) rather than results in indicators of use and diffusion (indexation in specialized databases, citations, international collaboration, etc.). For the year 2010, the number of journals indexed in Publindex increased, and it slowed down the promotion of journals to higher categories 2. Due to the above, Publindex adopted in that year a mixed classification system with four categories (A1, A2, B and C) based on the quartiles of the SJR (Scientific Journal Rankings) indexes of Scopus or JCR (Journal Citation Report) of Web of Science (normalized), and it superimposed the top two quartiles of the classification with the Google Scholar Metrics H-5 index (not normalized) in the two lower categories (B and C). With this system, in the convocation No. 768, Publindex recognized 33 journals in the health area (medicine, nursing and pharmacy); 16 because they are indexed in Scopus (Colombia has only two health journals in Web of Science in quartiles inferior to those classified in Scopus) and 17 with the quartile system H-5 of Google Scholar Metrics (GSM). This measurement was aligned with international systems; but it did not correct the editorial stagnation suffered by scientific journals; and there will emerge others if corrections are not early made.
