Automated Disclosure Workflows through Convey
Convey® is integrated with Editorial Manager to offer publications and Authors a streamlined COI disclosure workflow solution, improving consistency and increasing visibility.
Adding Custom Questions to Editor Forms
Custom review questions allow publications to collect specific information from Editors during the editorial decision process.
Task Manager for Editorial Tasks
Editorial Manager’s Task Manager feature allows journal offices to assign and track important editorial tasks prior to production and at any time in the editorial workflow.
Identity Confidence Check
Identity Confidence Check (ICC) helps Editors evaluate unknown researchers by verifying Author and Reviewer identities, helping to safeguard against fraudulent peer review and questionable Authorship.
Submitting Editor Decision
When submitting a final decision on a manuscript via the Editor Decision Form, Editors can access prior versions of the manuscript, view Reviewer commentary, and send a decision letter to Authors.
Customizing Letters
Publishers can easily create or modify email letter templates and associate them with key workflow events and roles, and send ad hoc email letters as needed, saving journal staff time.
Helping Editors with Decision Phrases
Publications can customize decision phrases, which appear in a “phase-picker” on the Editor Decision Form, maintaining a consistent voice when communicating with Authors, despite working with a large group of disparate editors.
Manuscript Prioritization with Editor Signposting
EM’s Editor Signposting feature displays a color (red, yellow, and green) for every manuscript in process in the Editor Main Menu, providing a quick indicator as to which manuscripts require urgent attention, helping with prioritization.
Automated Editor Summary Email Reminders
EM’s Editor Signposting feature, which helps Editors quickly prioritize the most urgent manuscripts, can be included in automated Editor reminder emails. This can help publications better manage manuscripts in process.
Role-Based Promotion of Alternate Reviewers
Within EM, Alternate Reviewers can automatically be promoted when previously invited Reviewers decline or fail to respond to their invitation in a given period, saving valuable time and improving the overall experience.
