Patent ID: 11600092

Abstract:
A system, apparatus, method, and computer program product that enhances the efficiency and quality of matches between intellectual content generated by authors and published by peer-reviewed journals. Stable matches between works and stakeholders are modelled, in a nonbinding manner, via a stable-matching problem (Gale-Shapley) algorithm. Via bulletin-board systems acting upon deidentified data, the LONGITUDE function enables journal editors to proactively and reliably commit time and other resources to manuscripts that are most mature and otherwise meritorious. Via the SCRIMSHAW function, COMPASS assists authors in drafting and editing papers that are based on quality-control and journal author guidelines and hence more likely to be accepted by journals. Functions of COMPASS are divisible into two major domains: “matching” and “dispatching.” The “matching” is fulfilled by three subfunctions: LONGITUDE, DECK WEDDING, and FATHOM. “Dispatching” is fulfilled via SCRIMSHAW, which promotes journal-ready manuscript quality via an intuitive 0 to 100% quality scoring system.
