Aries Systems Corporation, a leading technology workflow solutions supplier to the scholarly publishing community, has announced its partnership with SciScoreTM. Under the deal, Aries Systems will integrate its Editorial Manager® (EM), a cloud-based manuscript submission and peer review system for scholarly journals, reference works, books and other publications, with SciScore, the leading methods review tool for scientific articles.
A poorly controlled study impacts the quality of scientific research. It is critical for those in the peer review process to adhere to rigor and transparency criteria to ensure their contributions support the reproducibility of scientific research. Focusing on these methods, SciScore detects whether authors address bias, sample size, sex, blinding, the randomisation of subjects, and properly identified key biological resources (i.e., research reagents) within an Author’s manuscript, producing a score that roughly corresponds to the number of criteria filled compared to the number that was expected.
Prior to the integration with Editorial Manager, Authors would need to send key manuscript metadata into SciScore to have their content evaluated. Now, Editorial Manager can send the content to SciScore automatically on behalf of the Author or the journal. SciScore then scans the manuscript’s methods section(s) and sentences that contain research resources to generate a reproducibility score, reports and resource tables. SciScore’s evaluation will be made available within Editorial Manager, providing Authors, Editors and Reviewers with easy access to the data. The integration enables a more efficient and seamless manuscript analysis workflow as Editorial Manager users can complete the entire process without ever needing to leave the system. Publications utilising Editorial Manager now have another tool at their disposal designed to improve the quality of their scientific papers and research.
The SciScore and Editorial Manager integration will become available with the release of Editorial Manager/ProduXion Manager version 17.0.
