Nearly all of Elsevier’s journals use the Elsevier Editorial System (EES) for managing the submission and peer-review process. EES allows authors to submit their manuscripts, reviewers to referee and editors to manage the peer-review process online, providing a seamless flow from article submission, to publication.
Launched in 2002, EES today counts 3.5 million registered users and almost 2 million active end users per year. With 64,000 new author manuscripts received per month, 100,000 emails generated daily and more than 8 million page hits monthly, EES is one of Elsevier’s key products, servicing authors, editors and reviewers.
