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. In addition, a listing of select journals that are
published using a respective software/system are also listed within each
profile.

    We are most grateful to Eileen Breen of Emerald /  MCB University
Press  [http://www.emeraldinsight.com/] for facilitating access to this
article.

  Enjoy!
