What infrastructure does the journal use? - acm-toce/documentation GitHub Wiki

There are several services that host critical information infrastructure for the journal. These include:

  • The acm-toce GitHub organization, which hosts this repository.
  • This documentation repository, which hosts all documentation about the journal.
  • An ACM ManuscriptCentral instance (also known as ScholarOne), which hosts all peer review data. This includes the many email templates used to structure the various events that can happen during peer review, which the EiC can edit from the email templates link on the dashboard.
  • The ACM Digital Library Journal Page, which currently contains policies and editorial board membership, in addition to links to all journal content. This is overseen by the ACM Journals Manager, who generally reviews all changes.
  • Social media accounts are managed by TOCE EiC and/or volunteers from the editorial board. Accounts are linked to a Buffer account to allow easier scheduling of posts.
    • The ACM TOCE Twitter/X account. We no longer post here, as the platform's current ownership and direction conflict with the journal's commitment to an inclusive, welcoming community.
    • The ACM TOCE Bluesky account.
    • The ACM TOCE Facebook account.
    • The ACM TOCE Instagram account.
    • The ACM TOCE LinkedIn account.
  • A private spreadsheet of editorial board members maintained by the EiC to track historical board membership, expertise, and other helpful notes for paper assignments.
  • Our Reciprocal Reviews venue, which hosts the journal's reviewer pool and its token economy. Scholars volunteer there and record their expertise and capacity; AEs search the volunteer list when recruiting reviewers; and the venue records every token transaction for submissions, reviews, and editorial work. It replaces the reviewer pool spreadsheet as of November 2026. Reciprocal Reviews never holds manuscripts or reviews — those stay in Manuscript Central. Costs and per-role compensation are configured on the venue page, which is the authoritative source for those amounts.
