July 8, 2008, North Andover, MA, USA – Aries Systems Corporation is pleased to announce the availability of Chinese-language Author and Reviewer tutorials for its Editorial Manager peer-review system. Increasingly, scholarly publishers of English-language publications in all disciplines are looking to scientists and researchers in China as a source of high quality manuscripts. The translated tutorials, available free to Editorial Manager users, help Chinese users to better understand the submission and review steps that they will encounter using Editorial Manager. The tutorials include step-by-step Chinese language instruction and are accompanied by illustrative screen displays.

The development of these tutorials reinforces Aries Systems’ commitment to serving the global publishing community. This offering also highlights Aries Systems’ effort to increase its presence among Chinese-speaking Authors and Reviewers in China and elsewhere, as these tutorials help facilitate the process of submitting and reviewing manuscripts via Editorial Manager.

In addition to its Chinese language initiative, Aries Systems has also adapted the entire user interface of Editorial Manager to the German language. Now, German language publications can offer their authors, reviewers and editors a total interface experience in their native language, incorporating all of the extensive, highly configurable Editorial Manager functionality. More than a dozen publications now use the German version of Editorial Manager.

“As publications experience increases in their foreign submissions, the need for instructions and interaction in other languages becomes increasingly important. Publishers using Editorial Manager will now be able to offer their Chinese-speaking Authors and Reviewers intuitive guides to walk them through Editorial Manager,” adds Jennifer Fleet, Director of Customer Services at Aries.

The Chinese language tutorials are available for download here.
