The template makes use of three separate databases to track manuscript progress and submissions, abstract publications, as well as general tasks. Publishing manuscripts is a cumbersome process and can get confusing when working on several projects. The manuscript column separates each project based on where in the publication process it is currently in, as well as keeps track of which journals it's been submitted to and other key information. The Abstract column contains vital information on conference submissions, the status of poster/presentation preparation, and submission information. This will facilitate the submission process while minimizing duplicate submissions, which dilute the quality of the research conference.
