In this working session, Dr. Huynh Luu Duc Toan introduced comprehensively the online paper management software system of JABES comprising both English and Vietnamese language. With the online paper management software system of JABES, regardless of the English or Vietnamese version of the system of Emerald International Publisher, the managerial procedure is always guaranteed to be rigid and transparent and the critical procedure is stricter. Thanks to this online management system, all submissions are processed on the system and the process history will be saved to minimize manual steps and mutual emails. This is an extremely significant management system and the prerequisite for journals to reach closer to the journal standards according to international customs.
