The Book Management System (Book MS) at Digital University Foundation is designed to support the end-to-end workflow of academic and scholarly book publishing through structured, open-source and standards-based systems.

Scope of the System

• Manuscript submission and editorial coordination
• Peer review or editorial evaluation (where applicable)
• Content structuring, formatting, and production support
• ISBN guidance and metadata preparation
• Digital publication and distribution support

Operational Approach

The Foundation operates as a support and implementation partner, coordinating the publishing workflow and providing technical and editorial assistance. Specific components such as peer review, editorial decisions, and distribution channels may involve external collaborators, publishing partners, or platform integrations depending on the project.

Relation to Publishing Programs

The Book MS functions as the underlying infrastructure supporting the Foundation's broader Books programme and related models such as Living Articles, Overlay Journals, and Micro Publications.

Digital University Foundation does not guarantee publication, indexing, or commercial distribution outcomes. All publishing decisions, rights, and dissemination pathways are determined based on project-specific agreements and standard publishing practices.
