Gradual Engagement Workflows for Simplified Submission and Initial Evaluation in Editorial Manager

Authors are often required to provide an extensive amount of data upfront in order to submit a manuscript. However, many submissions never pass the initial evaluation stage, resulting in a loss of time and effort for both Authors and Editors. To help simplify this the submission and initial triage process, EM offers configuration options to allow publications to adopt a gradual engagement workflow approach.

Streamline Editorial and Production Workflows with Batch Functions

Aries has recently released batch functionality within EM/PM, allowing publications to complete certain actions in bulk rather than individually. Batch functions can automate a lengthy manual process, streamlining workflow and saving Editors and journal office staff valuable time. Batch functionality available includes editor assignment, task assignment, and more!

Complimentary Journal Site Audits for Publishers using EM and PM

Journal offices may not be aware of the many features or configuration settings available within EM/PM designed to enhance their workflows. To ensure customers are getting the most out of their EM/PM deployments, Aries’ Client Services team offers complimentary site audits. Our thorough evaluations and recommendations help optimize the system to best cater to each journal’s unique workflow needs.

Reminder: EM/PM v17.0 – The Final Version Release

The rollout of EM/PM version 17.0 is well under way! As a reminder to all EM/PM customers, the release of version 17.0 marks our final system “version” upgrade. Moving forward, all new features will be released as a part of our existing monthly update schedule rather than the current biannual version upgrade process. This allows Aries to deliver features faster and will help to limit the impact of inter-version code issues and bugs. Our focus is solely dedicated to investments towards new innovations, enhancing our infrastructure, and improving the product.
