The Healthcare and Science business of Thomson Reuters has announced the latest release of ScholarOne Manuscripts (formally Manuscript Central). The upgrade includes the implementation of Cognos, a leading business intelligence and performance management tool.
The new reporting functionality in ScholarOne Manuscripts has the ability to change the way journals manage, evaluate, and report on peer review operations within a journal. The additional reporting features allow users to build custom ad-hoc reports, schedule automatically delivered reports, insert report calculations, and expedite pivot reports; drill into performance statistics such as turnaround time, accept/reject rates and geographic distribution of submissions; determine the timing, formatting and delivery method to distribute reports on-demand or on a schedule; and provide reports on journal publishing metrics to aid strategic decision making.
ScholarOne Manuscripts is a web-based peer review and submission application for scholarly publishers. It works by automating the manuscript submission to journals and allows for easy administrative, editing and reviewing capabilities.
