Abstract

With the development of information and communication technologies, the workflow of many processes has also changed. A scientific publication processes are also facing these changes. Publishing scientific articles is an expensive and time-consuming process that requires significant prior investment and technical expertise. On the other hand, the information systems are subject to updates, and without changes, they can become incompatible with new technologies after some period. In this study, the update of online publication and scientific content management system was analyzed. The system was tested for the quality in use and performance, as well as to accordance with WCAG 2.0 accessibility checkpoints and user perception. The same tests were conducted after an update. Results of the tests showed that mostly the feature updates affected users’ perception, while improvements of performance higher compliance with accessibility standards had less effect. The further effect of a feature system update, such as menu position and type of implementation, were observed. The design allows to manage several journals. Moreover, the design allows adding new journals to the system as well. The publishing process in a system is article based. Unlike the previous version, the system stores an article metadata and can work with .pdf format. In addition, in this study we consider the requirements that need to be met by a publishing software.
