-The workflow for accepting submissions, reviewing them and approving them will slightly change.  For now the system will be used for publishing and indexing the final content.  There are metadata indexing portions of the system that will help people search, find and cite our articles more effectively.  Also, it opens up the process to be better handled for peer review.
