Aries Systems Corporation, a scholarly publishing technology workflow solutions provider, has announced a collaboration with Convey®, the global disclosure system provided by the Association of American Medical Colleges (AAMC), to help publishers enhance their current disclosure collection process.
Journals often see many discrepancies from one manuscript to the next due to inconsistent disclosures completed by Authors. The Convey service, a web-based centralised data repository for disclosures, promotes consistency and transparency of industry relationship information across organisations. The collaboration will provide an opportunity for integration of Convey® with Editorial Manager®, Aries’ manuscript submission and peer review tracking system, to help publishers seamlessly manage their conflict of interest collection and reporting without disrupting their current workflows.
The integration will allow Editorial Manager users to automatically pull relevant data stored within the Convey repository, enhancing their current disclosure collection process. All key data can be entered and accessed in a single place, eliminating the need for Authors to fill out questionnaires across multiple journals and for Editors to manually sift through PDF manuscript submissions, saving both parties valuable time and resources. With this streamlined disclosure workflow, Authors, Editors, and Reviewers now have visibility into key metadata and subsequent disclosure reports. In addition, Convey can be tailored to each publication’s unique disclosure policies, making this a flexible and efficient disclosure solution for publishers.
