EM user SICOT is among many journals launching an OA journal this year. SICOT-J is the latest journal published on EDP Open, the EDP Sciences Open Access portal, using Editorial Manager.

“The recently launched new Open Access journal SICOT-J receives already many submissions from all over the world,” said Catherine Brassac, Product Manager at EDP Sciences. “Creating a new journal is always an exciting challenge and thanks to EM, the configuration can be fast and run smoothly. The editors, authors and reviewers have quickly adopted the system, providing thereby short times from submission to first decision, a very important factor for selecting a journal.”
