Did you know that EM makes it easy for Editors to include attachments at any point in the workflow?

This feature conveniently allows Editors to send attachments along with email to Authors and Reviewers, keeps all associated documentation in one repository, and permits each individual attachment to be accessed by or hidden to Reviewers and/or the Author with a mouse-click.

Brill serves humanities, science, and law journals with Editorial Manager

Brill, an academic publisher founded in 1683 and based in Leiden (The Netherlands) and Boston (USA), began implementing EM on a limited basis in 2006 to improve operations for its humanities, science, and law journals.

Based on positive feedback, Brill extended its deployment in 2010. Marjon Jekel, EM Coordinator at Brill said, “The initial deployment allowed us to fully appreciate EM’s configurability and the benefits of the software-as-a-service model. EM has provided the flexibility to ideally meet our organizational and individual journal needs.”
