La publicación de revistas científicas se rige por un modelo de gestión que controla múltiples procesos y roles, y que influye en la calidad de los contenidos publicados. En este artículo describimos las ventajas que conlleva el uso de las recientes aplicaciones informáticas para la gestión de revistas científicas,analizando su aportación en diferentes aspectos queayudan a mejorar la calidad de las mismas (agilidad en la gestión, normalización, visibilidad, impacto y otros valores añadidos). Por último, presentamos varias pautas que deben ser tenidas en cuenta a la hora de elegir una de estas aplicaciones, así como una breve descripción de las más utilizadas, tanto gratuitas(que en muchas ocasiones trabajan con software libre)como comerciales.

The process of peer-review and publication in the interactive scientific journal Atmospheric Chemistry and Physics (ACP) differs from traditional scientific journals. It is a two-stage process involving the scientific discussion forum Atmospheric Chemistry and Physics Discussions (ACPD), and it has been designed to use the full potential of the internet to foster scientific discussion and enable rapid publication of scientific papers.
Initial access peer-review assures the basic scientific and technical quality for papers published in ACPD. Subsequent interactive discussion and public commenting by the referees, authors and other members of the scientific community is expected to enhance quality control for papers published in ACP beyond the limits of the traditional closed peer-review. Also in cases where no additional comments from the scientific community are received, a full peer-review process in the traditional sense, but in a more transparent way, is assured before publication of a paper in ACP.
