EAR: Calculating Turnaround Times

Via EM’s reporting module, publishers can track the number of days that elapse between key workflow events (calculate turnaround times), which can help them evaluate their success, and identify areas for improvement.

EAR: Calculating Volume of Submissions per Year

Editorial offices often want to compare current year with prior year data. For example, they may want to see the number of submissions, by article type, for this year compared with last year.

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.

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.

EAR: Using Sub-Reports to Provide Additional Detail

Publications can pull additional information about a particular record by “drilling down” as the system performs a sub-query by “sending” the field’s value to an optionally accessible sub-report. Ideal for occasional use.

EAR: Using Pivot Tables to Display Data

Pivot tables in EM’s reporting module are a flexible way for publishers to summarize, analyze, explore, and present patterns of data. When a pivot is created on a given field, it will create a new column for each unique value found within that field selected.
