For the planning and editing of online scientific journals, emphasis should be placed on editorial processes and functions; some of which are peer review and verdict, editing, layout, publication, document preservation, storage system, access to publication, publication indexing, visibility and positioning of the article. This article analyzes the main problems of editorial management for digital scientific publications. It is a descriptive field study, in which a search and recovery of previous published works, such as articles and editorial notes, as well as the systematization of experiences of an Ecuadorian academic journal of economics and finance, with digital format and open access, which starts its activities in 2020, was carried out. The experiences were compiled from information provided by the editor-in-chief of the journal, the coordinator of the scientific committee and a reviewer belonging to the international committee. The results show that there are editorial problems that may arise during the management of the publication of scientific articles, which may be the responsibility of the author, the reviewer or the editor, depending on the case; as well as deficiencies in the use of information and communication technologies to support the management and publication of articles. It is concluded that the success of the publication of scientific papers in academic journals depends on the application of sequential editorial processes and the technological support available to the publisher.
