Commerce Manager – Early Adopters Needed!

Aries will shortly complete development of a new workflow option called: Commerce Manager. Fully integrated with EM and PM, journals can use Commerce Manager to boost revenues, reduce administration and improve author services. The system supports a wide range of transaction types such as: submission fees, open access fees, page charges, color charges, reprint charges, etc. Authors can pay by credit card, “bill me” or request waivers. Payments can be integrated at different points in manuscript workflow such as submission or acceptance. Convenient reports make it easy to track open and completed transactions. Aries is looking for a small number of “early adopter” journals that currently use EM or PM. If you are interested, please contact marketing@ariessys.com.
