You might think that this would properly be the concern of the
repository software itself (ahem!) but I'm not aware of any
discussion of it.
Perhaps we could (on this list) work up a list of functions you'd
like to see supported.
You seem to suggest:
(a) submission tracking - is this just workflow management in terms
of being able to see what stage each submission is at and what action
is being waited upon?
(b) letters to publishers - presumably this covers any kind of
permission that is sought outside the system e.g. copyright
clearance, security approval, reviews or referee comments
Am I reading your concerns correctly?
