EAR: Calculating Acceptance Rates per Year

Editorial offices often want to explore acceptance rates, by article type, and across time. For example, they may want to see the acceptance rate, by article type, for this year compared with last year.

EAR: Identifying Author Geographical Origins

Via EM’s reporting module, publications can review key geographic diversity data by running a report on the geographic distribution of Authors or corresponding Authors for accepted manuscripts.

Updating User Account Information

EM and PM users can easily update their account information such as username and password, contact details, ORCID ID, and journal-specified classifications to describe areas of expertise.

EAR: Calculating Time from Submission to Final Decision

Editorial offices often want to explore date driven metrics to gauge workflow performance. For example, they may want to see, for externally reviewed papers, how much time the workflow takes from submission to final decision.

Manuscript Prioritization with Editor Signposts

EM’s Editor signpost feature displays a color meter that indicates the status for every manuscript in process on the Editor Main Menu, helping Editors prioritize which manuscripts require urgent attention.

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.

Customizing Authors Instructions at PDF Build

Publications can customize the text displayed in EM as Authors wait for the manuscript PDF to build. This provides publishers the opportunity to include helpful information for Authors.

Transferring Manuscripts from Preprint Servers into EM

After submitting their manuscript online to a preprint server, Authors often want to submit their manuscript to journal offices for formal peer review and publication. Scholarly journals can ingest manuscripts posted to preprint servers into Editorial Manager.
