ScholarOne Provides Solutions For Each Stage Of Submission Process

“By working closely with many of ScholarOne’s larger customers, we were able to gain valuable insight into the types of features that would contribute to a more efficient way for authors to submit manuscripts as well as make the review process more robust,” said William T. Carden, president and chief executive officer of ScholarOne. “The result is a new platform integrating several core Thomson applications.”

The collaboration between ScholarOne and its customers led to the development of Manuscript Central Optima, a key feature of the new release. Through Manuscript Central Optima, authors can create their manuscript in EndNote and seamlessly submit it for review using Manuscript Central. And through Optima’s integration with Web of Science, reviewers and editors have one-click access from the manuscripts to the times cited, related records, and links to the full record files, allowing for a well-organized and proficient reviewing process.

“Since its acquisition of ScholarOne, Thomson Scientific has demonstrated its commitment to investing in ScholarOne’s core offerings by introducing additional capabilities,” said Mr. Carden. “Both Web of Science and EndNote are world-class research platforms that complement Manuscript Central’s tools used by authors, editors and reviewers at each stage of the submission, review and production processes.” -Thomson business
