Despite an inconvenient snowstorm and consequent travel problems, more than 60 attendees participated in the 2010 Aries European Editorial Manager (EM) and Preprint Manager (PM) User Group meetings, Dec 2-3 in London, England. Highlights from the meetings included the ‘feature workshops’ where customers discussed specific enhancement requests with Aries staff; an extended demonstration of EM’s new Enterprise Analytics Reporting (EAR) functionality; and guest speakers Caitlin Meadows, who spoke about processing submissions from China, and Iain Craig, who reviewed the latest developments in journal citation analysis.

We hope you’ll contact Aries with any feedback we can use to continue to improve our user group meetings. Save the date – next year’s European User Group Meeting will be held on Monday, November 28, 2011 in central London.
