Scientific publication in the digital era

Scientific publication is undergoing a drastic transformation over the last decade. Now there is a trend of digitalization of all forms of communication. Few years ago authors were submitting their manuscripts in hard copies. Now most of the scientific journals are using online platform for the entire publishing process (i.e. manuscript submission, review, revision, proofs, publishing). Many traditional print journals are now using online platform as there is an increase in usage of digital devices (computer, laptop, tablet or smartphone) by scientists and clinicians to search online and read articles in digital form.
