What it is

A pipeline with gates, not a workflow with steps.

Scholarly publishing is a governed sequence: a researcher submits, review happens, editorial decides, publication follows, and discovery makes the result findable. Each transition is a gate with its own rules about who may act and what must be recorded.

The structure below is that sequence. Its value is in the order and the gates, not in the number of screens.

Engineering context

Frontend over a governed model.

Frontend engineering is the discipline associated with this system. In a governed pipeline that work is mostly about making state legible — showing an author, a reviewer and an editor the same object with different powers over it.
