Online submission system provider Aries Systems Corporation, US, has announced that publishers such as Georg Thieme Verlag, Deutscher Ärzte-Verlag and Hogrefe Verlag have adopted the German version of Editorial Manager. The publishers have launched online manuscript submission and peer review services specifically tailored to German-speaking authors.
Germany is the world's third largest source of scholarly manuscripts, and numerous publications focus on the needs of German readers. For this reason, Aries Systems developed a German language version of its online peer review system, Editorial Manager.
Aries seeks to provide robust, multilingual publication workflow solutions. This includes Unicode compliance, translation of support documentation into languages such as German and Chinese, and partnerships with service companies that provide manuscript editing services. Configuration options that are uniquely available in Editorial Manager also make it possible to quickly add data fields for the purpose of storing locally relevant data elements such as multiple language versions of author names. The availability of a German version is seen to have made it a lot easier for publishers to get 'buy in' from local editors, staff and freelancers.
