Aries Systems, a provider of workflow solutions to STMS publishers, societies, and researchers, announced at their Eleventh Annual European Editorial Manager User Group Meeting in London, England, that Editage, the flagship manuscript editing brand of Cactus Communications, is the first adopter of its new 'ingest service' for Editorial Manager (EM). In September 2014, Aries announced the addition of manuscript ingest functionality to the EM platform’s robust set of submission workflow streamlining tools. As part of the collaboration, Editage will soon be able to transfer author manuscripts directly to participating journal EM submission sites and simplify the manuscript submission workflow for both journals and authors alike.
Authors today use a range of manuscript services to assist with document preparation, including bibliography management, collaborative authoring tools, language polishing, and journal selection services. The addition of the manuscript ingest functionality to EM allows authors to save valuable time in manuscript submission to journals, by offering them a much simplified and hassle-free submission workflow. Journals will benefit from increased submissions owing to seamless manuscript submission processes, facilitated by a leading manuscript services provider such as Editage. The ingest functionality will be available to the thousands of scholarly journals using EM and the 70,000+ scholarly authors using Editage. The service also permits use of ORCID identifiers to ensure that transferred submissions are accurately mapped to prior author registration records.
Aries is exhibiting at the upcoming APE Conference, January 20-21, Berlin, Germany and the PSP Annual Conference, February 4-6 in Washington DC. For those who would like to learn more about the manuscript ingest service, may arrange to meet Aries representatives at an upcoming event by contacting marketing@edmgr.com.
