The following is an interview with Gabriel Harp, Senior Product Manager at Cell Press. Cell Press’s research journals have been leading a pilot allowing authors to optionally make use of the CRediT Contributor Roles Taxonomy, which will be integrated with Editorial Manager version 13.0, coming later this year. He describes the experience here:
A recently published UK report on Open Access recommends formation of an Efficiency Forum Subgroup, stating that, “There are changes needed to workflows and systems within and between research funders, institutions, publishers, and service providers.”
By now, many researchers and publishers are familiar with Overleaf– the LaTeX based, online collaboration tool integrated with real time PDF-style preview. This tool has been adopted by many, including Springer journals.
Increasingly, publishers require that authors provide their unique ORCID iD along with files and other metadata when submitting work for publication in peer reviewed journals.
Yesterday, Scholarly Kitchen Contributor Joe Esposito posted a blog dealing with publisher and journal branding in the age of the transfer workflow. Within the post, Joe deems 2016 “the year of the cascading journal program.”
Interested in learning about, and contributing new ideas to Editorial Manager innovations? You’ll want to be in London at EEMUG 2016 on January 15, 2016. If you’re planning to attend, register soon for the following reasons:
Earlier this month, ORCID held its annual US Outreach meeting at GitHub in San Francisco, California.
EDP Sciences, the international STM society publisher based in Paris and founded by renowned scientists such as Marie Curie, recently announced it will manage Article Processing Charges (APCs) for its Open Access publications using the RightsLink® for Open Access platform from Copyright Clearance Center, Inc. (CCC), which is integrated with Editorial Manager.
What an interesting evening! Aries’ integration with the Copyright Clearance Center’s RightsLink for OA finished second to Harvard University Press at the New England Publishing Collaboration (NEPCo) Awards at the Central Square Theater this evening.
At last, the much discussed Manuscripts authoring tool has been released.
