    I am pleased to announce the formal publication of "Web-based
Journal Manuscript Management and Peer-Review Software and Systems"
_Library Hi Tech News_ 19(7) (August 2002): 31-43.

In recent years, a variety of experimental and commercial systems have
been developed that facilitate the management and review of scholarly
manuscripts for electronic and paper publication. Among the established
and recent Web-based systems are:

·
AllenTrack*
·
Bench>Press*
·
EdiKitSM
·
ESPERE
·
Journal Assistant*
·
Manuscript Central*
·
Rapid Review*

   For each, a brief overview is provided, as is a outline of the
features and functionalities of the system/service, contact information,
Web site, and vendor.

    Electronic access to the article is available for subscribers via
the MCB University Press Emerald service [http://www.emeraldinsight.com/]

  Enjoy!
