"We are really grateful for the help that Aries was able to offer. We don't have a dedicated IT staff, so this kind of assistance is of special value for us. Thank you for the excellent follow-through.."
Mady Tissenbaum
General Manager, The Journal of Bone and Joint Surgery

"Wir entschieden uns mit EM für einen der weltweiten Marktführer in dem Bereich, weil wir ein Manuskripteinreichungs- und Redaktionssystem verwenden wollten, das erwiesenermaßen funktioniert. Wir durften somit erwarten, dass ein Teil unserer Herausgeber und der Autoren, die für eine der von unserem Verlag publizierten Zeitschriften schreiben, bereits im Umgang mit dem System geübt war, und der andere Teil sich mit entsprechenden geringen Reibungsverlusten in dessen Gebrauch einarbeiten ließ."
Wolfgang Böttner - Fachbereichsleiter Medicine & Sciences bei Walter de Gruyter

"Wir benötigten in der Einführungsphase seitens Aries hüben wie drüben starke Ansprechpartner, weil wir mit Herausgebern sowohl in den USA als auch in Deutschland zusammenarbeiten, die alle betreut werden müssen. Das hat alles wunderbar geklappt. Zudem war für uns die umfassende Unterstützung bei der Systemeinführung, die uns die deutsche Aries-Niederlassung in Langenfeld bereitgestellt hat, ein ganz wichtiger Aspekt."

"Just used EM for the first time. Excellent experience and really facilitated the review process."
David Middleton
Reviewer for British Journal of Social Psychology

"EM is essential. I cannot imagine functioning without it. Customer service is extraordinary; well above that of any other organization."

Donna Stroud
American Journal of Obstetrics and Gynecology

"I have completed all the reviewer invitations for the current manuscripts, and I just love this system! I had absolutely no problems, and everything worked great - and I kept catching on more and more as I used the system. Wow - this all makes my life so easy! It is terrific!"

Peggy Chin
Editor
Advances in Nursing Science

"It is a pleasure to deal with an organization that reacts positively to user feedback and that incorporates the real-life experiences of customers into product improvements."

"The impressive increase in the citation impact factor has drawn more authors to our journal, this along with the ease of submitting manuscripts using Editorial Manager helped to boost our submissions by more than 10% in 2004."

Cami Lind
Editorial Assistant
Journal of Allergy and Clinical Immunology

"Operating a Journal Office without Editorial Manager would be like baking bread without yeast. Just do not know how you would get anywhere without it!"

Jackie Lynch
Senior Editorial Coordinator
The Laryngoscope

"I just wanted to say that EM is an excellent system and from the many positive comments we have received, that it is by far superior to other systems being used. Just for your information... if we continue to get submissions at our current rate, by the end of the year, we will double our submission rate from previous years."

Betty Schiefelbein,
Managing Editor
Remote Sensing of Environment

"The "Proposals and Invited Papers" feature in the 3.0 version of Editorial Manager is a greatly anticipated upgrade. It functioned smoothly in beta testing and appears versatile: We plan to apply it both to invited editorials and letters to the editor and their replies. It represents just one of many examples of Aries' responsiveness to editorial office requests."

Pamela Fried
Managing Editor
The Journal of Thoracic and Cardiovascular Surgery

"Largely as a result of the success of Editorial Manager, we have significantly decreased the average number of days from manuscript receipt to publication. Most authors and reviewers have become comfortable with EM and, in fact, many like it better than other systems they come across."

Deanna Gunderson,
Managing Editor
American Journal of Kidney Disease

"We have been using it for about 15 months now and really like it. The editor of the journal recently moved to Virginia, but with EM we are able to keep the journal office in Texas without any change to the way we handle manuscripts. Our authors, referees and publisher have all praised the web-based system."

Sarah Pierce-Rubio
Aviation, Space, and Environmental Medicine

"At any given time our journal has between 80 and 90 live manuscripts, and I seem to be able to handle everything working 12 to 16 hours per week largely because EM does so much for me."

Caroline Verdier,
Managing Editor
Cognitive Science

"Editorial Manager offers the right mix of software functionality and configurability. We particularly like the flexibility of the reporting system which will enable us to monitor and track the journals in a detailed and systematic way."

Julie Neason,
Journals Manager
British Psychological Society

"As a leading scientific publisher, Lippincott Williams and Wilkins continues to offer the best solution to our authors and editorial boards. Aries has a solid track record of successful software development, and their Editorial Manager system has proven to be a superior online manuscript submission and tracking solution."

Patti Ward,
Manager of Editorial Solutions
Lippincott Williams and Wilkins

"We've been impressed with the pace and reliability of innovation delivered by the Editorial Manager development team."

Harry Verwayen,
Business Development Manager
Kluwer Academic Publishers

"Our editors are pleased that we've had a 32% increase in submissions compared with 2001, and Web-based access can certainly be credited for playing a role in that increase. Our international authors are especially excited about the product. We've surveyed authors and reviewers and gotten a very positive response to the system overall."

Nancy Medina,
Director
Annals of Emergency Medicine

"I just wanted to send a note of appreciation for the support we are receiving from Amy. She is doing an outstanding job helping us and I sincerely appreciate her efforts. She is prompt, courteous, and so helpful in working out any problems we encounter. I feel very fortunate to have her as my Editorial Manager contact."

Journal Office Comment

"The system has helped cut late reviews to just 16 or 17 per cent....Contributors get a "yes" or a "no" much more quickly, the average time has dropped from 52 business days to 25."

Adrienne Lea,
Director of Publications
Journal of Bone and Mineral Research

"Thanks! I'm really proud of this one, and I have to say that part of the reason I like doing reviews for Annals so much is the excellent staff, and the ridiculously friendly web-based review system."

David C. Cone, MD
Associate Professor of Emergency Medicine and Public Health
Chief, Division of EMS, Section of Emergency Medicine
Yale School of Medicine

"I just wanted to share with you some positive comments about EM that I just received from one of our Section Editors. He called specifically to say that he is very impressed with the reviewer assignment and reporting features."

Journal Office Comment

"I found that sending decision letters via EM is a pleasure. I was able to send nine letters in a half-hour. In the old system, those same letters would have taken two hours. EM has revolutionized the decision letter process."

Journal Office Comment

"One of our Editorial Board members sent this super nice message last week. He also called to say "hats off" to the designers of the system because he liked it so much. I think this message is a great compliment to everyone at Aries."

Journal Office Comment

"I have agreed to review the manuscript but have a question. What is the program that identifies similar articles using MEDLINE? It's very good!"

Unsolicited Reviewer Comment

"I have just tried the online review process and I congratulate you and the journal for an excellent system! In fact, this is the best I have encountered. I like the related articles feature and the fact that we can add special characters which many journals do not offer. Great job."

Unsolicited Section Editor Comment

"I have submitted the article via the web system. I found this system to be very easy to understand and use, and also very quick."

Unsolicited Author Comment

"We're really enjoying the 3.0 EM upgrade. The staff who work on the journals we upgraded to 3.0 have been singing the praises of .zip file uploads for the last week!"
