DVL Systems is proud to announce the official launch of ScholarNote, A scholarly publishing and journal management platform, unveiled at the 8th International Conference on Sustainable Globalisation 2026, held at Marriott, Kochi, on 16 January 2026. An MGUIF and DVL Systems Initiative.
This milestone marks a strategic expansion of DVL Systems’ product portfolio, reinforcing our commitment to delivering enterprise-grade digital platforms that solve complex, domain-specific operational challenges. ScholarNote has been architected as a comprehensive, scalable, and process-driven ecosystem to modernize and streamline scholarly publishing, conference publishing workflows, and academic journal operations.
A Platform Built for the Future of Academic Publishing
ScholarNote has been designed to address the fundamental inefficiencies and governance challenges prevalent across traditional journal management and publishing environments. The platform delivers a fully integrated, end-to-end workflow that digitizes and automates the complete scholarly lifecycle — from call-for-papers and manuscript submission to peer review, editorial management, publishing operations, and post-publication governance.
Key capability pillars of ScholarNote include:
-
Centralized manuscript submission and tracking
-
Multi-level editorial and reviewer workflow automation
-
Configurable peer-review and decision management processes
-
Role-based operational dashboards for authors, reviewers, editors, and publishers
-
Secure document handling, version control, and audit traceability
-
Integrated communication, notifications, and publication governance tools
Built with scalability and extensibility at its core, ScholarNote supports both single-journal implementations and multi-journal publishing environments, enabling institutions and publishers to standardize operations while retaining procedural flexibility.
Successful Industry Validation and Strategic Partnerships
The launch event also marked the official onboarding of the International Journal on Sustainable Globalisation (IJSG) onto the ScholarNote platform, validating ScholarNote’s readiness for production-scale deployment. DVL Systems is currently in advanced discussions with multiple additional journals and institutional bodies, with several scheduled to be onboarded in the forthcoming phase.
The successful launch was made possible through close collaboration with academic leadership and publishing stakeholders, whose domain insights were instrumental in shaping ScholarNote’s operational architecture and multi-level editorial workflows.
Strategic Significance for DVL Systems
ScholarNote represents a strategic step forward in DVL Systems’ product innovation journey. Beyond being a software platform, ScholarNote embodies our approach to building vertical-focused, outcome-driven digital solutions that combine process rigor, technology excellence, and long-term scalability.
With ScholarNote, DVL Systems is positioned to support:
-
Academic institutions and research bodies
-
Independent and commercial journal publishers

Conference organizers and publishing committees
-
Scholarly associations and editorial boards
Our roadmap includes continuous enhancement across AI-assisted editorial support, research integrity frameworks, advanced analytics, and deeper integration with global scholarly indexing and publishing ecosystems.
Looking Ahead
As we progress into the next phase, our focus remains on rapid institutional onboarding, continuous capability expansion, and establishing ScholarNote as a trusted digital backbone for modern scholarly publishing.
We extend our sincere gratitude to all partners, advisors, and stakeholders who contributed to this successful launch and look forward to shaping the future of scholarly publishing together.
