Aries Systems Corporation, a leading technology workflow solutions provider to the scholarly publishing community, and Digital Commons, a leading platform for open access publishing and institutional repositories, have partnered to support the growth of Diamond Open Access (OA) journals across the globe.
The partnership brings together two top publishing solutions to provide an enhanced editorial management experience. Digital Commons (DC), a cloud-hosted institutional repository and journals platform, is a pioneer in providing visibility, metrics, and tailored service for OA journals and scholarly organisations. Aries’ Editorial Manager® (EM), the industry leading cloud-based manuscript submission and peer-review tracking system, will be the backbone for the new Digital Commons Premier journals program. Both Aries Systems and Digital Commons have recently joined the Elsevier umbrella of research and publishing solutions. The collaboration enables DC Premier journals to leverage EM’s extensive features for editorial management, including integrated plagiarism checking, automatic manuscript metadata population with Xtract, ORCID single sign-on and more.
Diamond Open Access, a publishing business model in which no fees are applied to Authors or readers, enables journals to quickly develop a populous and engaged community. Thousands of Editors utilise Digital Commons to openly publish, manage and showcase their scholarly output and enhance journal visibility. The initial stage of the partnership will provide 25 DC journals access to EM’s highly configurable system, with plans to onboard more journals to come.
