Thank you to all the wonderful attendees and presenters at Aries Systems’ EEMUG and PMUG meetings in London on January 16-17! Turnout was the highest ever of all our annual user group meetings in Europe. Here’s what attendees had to say:
“I found the feature workshop sessions and feedback to be most helpful– it’s great to have the opportunity to discuss workflow challenges (and possible solutions) with others and to hear the ideas that folks working for other publishers have for future development.”
“I found all the sessions I attended informative and enjoyable. It is always interesting to hear other people’s experiences which can help with improving your own working practices.”
Aries’ next user group meeting is scheduled for June 19-20 in Boston, MA. Registration information will be publicized in an upcoming newsletter.
To date, the American Psychological Association has transitioned 55 of its journals to the Editorial Manager (EM) workflow solution. APA is at the vanguard of scholarly societies in terms of collecting ORCIDs from manuscript contributors, a process that has been simplified by the integration of EM with the ORCID API.

Journal of Bone & Joint Surgery has adopted Aries Systems’ Commerce Manager (CM) for collection of manuscript submission fees.

Oxford University Press has launched a new Open Access online journal, Open Forum Infectious Diseases (OFID). OFID employs EM and the workflow system’s cross-journal transfer functionality. This allows the publisher to cascade manuscripts between OFID and another OUP journal, Clinical Infectious Diseases, supporting rapid publication and optimal placement of manuscript content.
