Journal of Ceramic Science & Technology manages global workflow with Editorial Manager

ceramics-siteThe Journal of Ceramic Science and Technology, published by Göller-Verlagof Baden-Baden, Germany, uses the double-blind method for quality assessment of submitted manuscripts. EM manages the journal’s submission, peer-review and global editorial workflow.

“We hope that our streamlined workflows, and the quality we’ve built in to the process with EM will result in our first ISI ranking,” commented Editor, Professor Jürgen G. Heinrich. “This cannot be achieved today without a system such as EM, particularly, due to the global distribution of the journal´s editorial board and authors. EM is easy-to-use, extraordinarily clear and meets an international state-of-the-art standard.”
