- Description:
The Journal receives a large number of manuscripts from authors wishing to publish their research. As a peer-review Journal, it is necessary for all of the manuscripts to be reviewed by experts in the field of orthopaedics.
The OrthoDox project was conceived to automate a significant part of the paper submission process. Authors are able to submit their manuscripts online by following a series of screens leading them through the process. They can leave and return to the screens any time during the submission process.
Once submitted and approved, the manuscripts are distributed to the reviewers who are also able to read them online and submit their reviews using OrthoDox.
The new system has helped to simplify the whole process by removing the need to communicate and pass documents using desktop email systems.
Since launch, a number of enhancements have been applied to OrthoDox and the back-office application, OrthoBase, including functionality to support on-screen editing of papers throughout the production process.

- Description:
Our brief was to reconstruct a new version of The Journal's website. The previous website was hosted by the organisation that provides the online version of the journals to current subscribers.
The requirement was to separate the management, searching and display of article/abstract/editorial content with the rest of site content. This presented numerous technical challenges, including the implementation of single sign-on functionality requiring synchronisation of subscription and user security details across 3 separate systems.
In addition, the new website needed to integrate with the proprietry in-house subscriptions system and it needed to be possible for staff to manage the content themselves.
The site was developed around the Umbraco Content Management System with heavy use of Javascript to facilitate the single sign-on functionality.
A supporting backoffice application was developed in Microsoft Access.
