Aries Systems announces its commitment to supporting the JATS standardbecause of its growing adoption outside bio-medicine and its extended support for international author name formats. Richard Wynne, VP Sales and Marketing at Aries commented, “Our business partner in Japan, Atlas Corporation, has been active in the JATS process to ensure its applicability to Japanese publishing. By supporting JATS format transmittals we can better serve Editorial Manager journals.”

The Journal Article Tag Suite (JATS), arising from an NCBI project, is an XML standard that builds on the earlier National Library of Medicine DTDs for scholarly manuscript archiving.
