Abstract
4

JOURNAL MANAGEMENT SYSTEM is an application which is been

designed to provide mobility and ease of access to admin.
The whole application is divided into several parts to reduce the
complexity of use so that nontechnical person can also use it easily
as there are three major parts to this application and those are: -
1. Live paper Update.
2. Live reviewer Update
3. Custom Push Notification for new Reviewer and Paper Request.

This Android App will automatically notify to Admin if he has any

Reviewer Request or New Paper Request.
Using this App, we can easily manage all the papers and reviewers
efficiently. It also keeps us updated about any new addition of paper
and reviewer in the database.

Problem Statement
Android is an operating system based on the Linux kernel, and
designed primarily for touch screen mobile devices such as smart
phones and tablet computers. Moreover, it based on direct
manipulation, using touch inputs that loosely correspond to world
actions like swiping, tapping, pinching and reverse pinching to
manipulate onscreen objects.
Now a day we face several problems regarding the activities
that we can not do frequently : -
we can not login continously to check for new papers
submitted.
It aims to provide mobility to admin.
Simple application for ease of access to admin.
Platform is android so people can use it easily anytime and
anywhere on their mobile

Results and Discussion
The main motive behind developing this app was to provide
MOBILITY and ease of access to the admin. And these motives are
fulfilled as the app provides a simple platform .
Here we can discuss some results and problems during the
development phase of app. Compilation Errors are easy to detect but
runtime errors are as difficult as Compilation Errors are easy.
XML pages are too much hectic sometimes to design as if there
is small mistake in page then whole layout will spoil.

Conclusion and Future Work
This project is made in android studio 2.2.
This android app is very useful in sense of storing and hiding
our important private passwords which we cannot write anywhere to
remember because of security breach.
It is an Android Mobile app so it provides our credentials
mobility and portability.
Future Enhancements: -
Integration with cloud storage for portability and security
Integration of pattern lock in App
Database Manipulation
Transfer Database file to another device using Bluetooth or Wi-
Fi
More Options for different credentials
Better GUI
