With the most recent release of Editorial Manager (version 15.0), journals were upgraded to the new Xtract submission interface with automated metadata extraction.

Jessica McEwan, Managing Editor, Journal of Vascular Surgery Publications, said: “The new submission process is intuitive, provides plenty of room for customized instructions, and propels authors toward the submission finish line by focusing more on the files to be uploaded than on rekeying basic information that has already been captured.”

“I attribute the success [of the new interface] to the Aries staff, who took the time to develop the new system, get feedback from users, and provide informative resources well in advance of the transition.”Learn more about Xtract.
