It takes five minutes to configure this feature. If you need assistance with configuration, please contact your Aries Account Coordinator.

Version 11.0 enables authors and editors to drag-and-drop multiple files into EM/PM during submission and at other points in the workflow. Users conveniently grab and drag files from their computer’s desktop or folders right onto the attach files page. Enhanced progress indicators show upload status for each file as well as remaining time for all files to completely upload. Users retain the ability to select files by browsing, and can now select multiple files at once.
In a demanding publishing climate, journals often need a way to quickly fill a hole in their budgets. A growing number are turning to Commerce Manager to collect submission fees from authors. Submission fees can be collected with minimal administrative overhead due to the full integration with EM submission workflows. Some journals easily generate incremental revenue of hundreds of thousands of dollars to help offset editorial costs. To find out more about CM and how it could fill the hole in your budget, contact us.
Preferential terms are available for early adopters of the new APC processing option. CCC’s RightsLink® for Open Access is being seamlessly integrated with EM (Version 11.1) to automate administration of APCs in manuscript workflow. Aries and CCC are looking for a limited number of early adopters who will benefit from preferential terms. CCC is waiving the RightsLink set up fee and is providing two years of RightsLink maintenance at no charge! Contact us for details.
At the recent EM User Group meeting in London, Dr. Lisa Wylie of Wiley VCH gave an excellent presentation on transferring manuscripts between journals using Editorial Manager, with a focus on how the feature enhances Wiley workflows and author experiences.
