The National Information Standards Organization (NISO) has issued an industry-wide call for public input on the recently released Recommended Practice draft established by the NISO MECA Working Group. The Manuscript Exchange Common Approach (MECA) is a cross-organizational project that strives to standardize policies surrounding manuscript exchange data between systems in an effort to avoid data loss and make the process overall more efficient for Authors, Reviewers and publishers. Aries is proud to be an active member of the NISO MECA Working Group!

The Recommended Practice is open for feedback through February 16th – Submit your comments today to contribute to the MECA initiative!
