The scenario
A journal platform exposes a submission API that validates incoming papers, routes them through editorial checks, manages reviewer invitations, and processes accept, revise, or reject decisions.
What is in this drawing
Read the decisions behind it.
01
Reject invalid submissions with HTTP 422 before editorial assignment
02
Gate on similarity check to desk-reject low-quality or plagiarized papers
03
Loop reviewer invitations until enough acceptances and sufficient reviews are collected
04
Support revise-resubmit cycles by routing resubmissions through validation again
Use when modeling the backend workflow of a journal or conference submission API that includes validation, review coordination, and editorial decisions.
