Configure Use of Manuscript Analysis Service

Manuscript analysis services evaluate materials for scholarly publications, for example, to check for compliance with industry guidelines or to perform statistical analysis. These third-party services can integrate with Editorial Manager, enabling the exchange of files from within EM. See the current list of manuscript analysis services available for integration.

When this feature is enabled, a publication can send submission metadata and files for analysis, automatically or manually, and users with permission can receive and view the resulting reports. All roles may be given permission to view results.

Submission metadata, including any custom submission questions configured on the publication site, plus any combination of the following files may be sent to an analysis service, depending on how the service's integration is configured:

• Reviewer PDF
• Auxiliary PDF
• Source files: Submission Item Types configured by the publication to be included in the analysis package

Users with permission may view analysis results for a submission on the Manuscript Analysis Services page. The page displays links to the reports and scores from the service, if applicable. Format of reports received depends on the analysis service: either a URL to view results in the analysis service’s system or a PDF to download.

For details on viewing reports and initiating analysis requests, see:

Manuscript Analysis Reports (Editor and Publisher roles)

To configure:

Manuscript Analysis Services integrations must be enabled. Contact your Aries Account Coordinator.

Article Types must be configured for use with a Manuscript Analysis Service. Go to PolicyManager > Submission Policies > Edit Article Types, and click the Edit link next to the applicable Article Type.

On the Edit Article Type Page, the Manuscript Analysis Services section displays all services enabled for the publication. Each service must be configured individually. One or more workflow events may be selected to trigger the system to send materials for analysis automatically. If no events are checked, users (with permission) can initiate an analysis manually.

For each service:

1. Use the checkbox list of workflow events to select one or more trigger events. Check the box next to the event.
   • New Submission
   • Technical Check Completion
   • First Editor Assignment
   • First Revision
   • All Revisions
   • Editor Decision - Revise (when the Author is notified of the decision)
2. When finished, click Submit.

For details on Article Type configuration, see Configure Article Types.

If the analysis service allows the inclusion of source files in the analysis package, Submission Item Types must be defined for inclusion and associated with the applicable Article Types. Go to PolicyManager > Submission Policies > Edit Submission Item Types, and click the Edit link next to the applicable item type.

The Edit Submission Item Type Page displays a list of all enabled analysis services (below the text, Include this submission item when sending submissions to the following Manuscript Analysis Services).

1. Check the box next to an analysis service to include this submission item type in the analysis package for that service. (One or more services may be selected.)
2. When finished, click Submit.

For details on Submission Item Type configuration, see Define Submission Item Types.

Grant permission to access analysis results. All roles may be given permission to view results. Editor and Publisher roles may also be given permission to initiate an analysis request manually. Permissions must be granted for each analysis service.

Go to RoleManager > Author Role or Reviewer Role. Grant permissions to applicable roles:

Go to RoleManager > Editor Role or Publisher Role. Grant permissions to applicable roles:
