Science Editor, CSE’s quarterly publication serving professionals concerned with publishing in the sciences, is currently transitioning to online submission and peer review thanks to Aries’ donation of its Editorial Manager system.
According to Diane Sullenberger, President of CSE, “Our authors, peer reviewers, editors, and readers will benefit tremendously from this new streamlined system.”
Aries’ Vice President of Sales & Marketing, Richard Wynne, commented, “We are happy to be able to provide the technology that will help in the furtherance of CSE goals.”
Whether it’s part of their everyday workflow model or only occasionally used for special issues, EM’s Proposals Menu is a convenient way for journals to invite submissions from pre-selected Authors. The option to work with submissions on an invitation-only basis drastically cuts down time spent in screening submissions and allows for detailed issue planning.
Lippincott Williams & William’s (LWW) Current Opinion series, comprised of two dozen journals, all make use of the Proposals menu, and some exclusively work with invited submissions. See Current Opinion in Neurology‘s submissions site here: http://www.edmgr.com/CONR.
Journals now have more tools to build relationships with international authors, reviewers, and editors; and to reach new markets. The Editorial Manager interface is available in the following languages: English, Simplified Chinese, Japanese, German, and French, with Spanish scheduled for release this month.
Uniquely available in Editorial Manager is the ability for users to dynamically toggle between languages to see the interface in their preferred language.

In January 2011, the American Gastroenterological Association journal, Gastroenterology, implemented submission and page charges. To do so, Aries Systems’ increasingly popular Commerce Manager was seamlessly integrated into the journal’s pre-existing Editorial Manager submission web site.
According to Christopher Lowe, AGA Assistant Managing Editor, “The outcome has surpassed our expectations. Commerce Manager was installed quickly and is easy for Authors and journal staff to use; the fees collected provide a valuable revenue boost to the society; and there has been an acceptable decline in the number of submissions.”
To find out more about the AGA, visit the association’s web site and check out thejournal submission site. Please contact marketing@ariessys.com for a demonstration of the highly configurable Commerce Manager, or view the product sheet.
Springer Science+Business Media has successfully deployed more than 1,200 journals with Editorial Manager.

Editorial Manager and Preprint Manager V9.0 are now available for beta testing.The new release includes several exciting features such as the ability to automatically chain production tasks and NIHMS deposits. Enhanced CrossCheck integration means less need for human intervention and faster processing. Manuscripts are sent automatically to CrossCheck/iThenticate, when triggered by configurable workflow events. A manual trigger option will still be available on an individual manuscript basis.
If you would like to volunteer for beta testing to see first-hand how the new features will work on your EM or PM site without impacting your live data, email Betsy Hopkins, Aries Business Systems Analyst, at bhopkins@ariessys.com. Your feedback will help us perfect the product for final release.
