Aries’ LiXuid Manuscript™ philosophy encompasses our vision for the future of scholarly publishing, in which XML (eXtensible Markup Language) is leveraged to streamline the entire publishing process. In this blog we detail the basics of XML, why it’s important to the publishing workflow, and how an XML-first workflow impacts end-users (Authors, Editors, Reviewers, production staff and beyond.)

Aries Systems is pleased to sponsor OASPA’s OA Switchboard Initiative, which strives to enable the seamless sending and receiving of messages relating to the publication of open access research outputs for participating publishers, academic institutions and research funding organizations. Read the full press release to learn about how the OA Switchboard team is currently working on a pilot integration that leverages Aries’ web services API to allow funding information within EM to be easily communicated between publishers and other stakeholders.

As a guest speaker at Aries’ 2020 European Editorial Manager User Group meeting (EEMUG 2020), Jayne Marks, VP of Global Publishing at Wolters Kluwer, Health, noted that a common misconception in the publishing community is the belief that “Read-and-Publish” and “Publish-and-Read” are the exact same concept and that the terms are often mistakenly used interchangeably. In honor of Open Access Week 2020, we defined the difference between these two transformative agreement models at a high-level.
