Online submission system provider Aries Systems Corporation, US, has announced that the independently published Dutch Journal of Medicine (Nederlands Tijdschrift voor Geneeskunde) has selected its Editorial Manager peer-review system. Founded in 1857, the journal attracts submissions in medicine and healthcare and applies a rigorous editorial and peer review process.
A key requirement for transitioning to online peer review was the ability to customise author-facing pages to include instructions and hints in Dutch, the native language of most of the journal's contributing authors. The Web-based administration pages in Editorial Manager made this possible without the need for expensive customised software development. With the assistance of Aries' support staff, the journal office was also able to successfully customise workflows, article types and user roles to reflect the journal's local needs.
The Editorial Manager online submission system is used by more than 2,900 scholarly journals and processes tens of thousand of manuscripts per month. In September 2008, Aries Systems announced the integration of Editorial Manager with the CrossCheck plagiarism detection service. Convenient access to CrossCheck from within Editorial Manager workflows adds a powerful tool to help improve editorial integrity.
