The Journal of Arthroplasty Vol. 19 No. 5 2004

Announcing Elsevier’s Electronic Submission and Review System Elsevier is committed to migrating its journal publication process to a fully electronic workflow. The underlying motivations are to improve the competitive edge of its journals and to react to what is becoming a common trend and expectation in the market. This implies that the editorial process, production process, and distribution process will all operate electronically. We are therefore pleased to announce that The Journal of Arthroplasty has implemented a system for electronic handling of research papers during the submission and peer review process. This Elsevier Editorial System (EES) is a web-based system with full online submission, review, and status update capabilities. EES allows authors to upload files directly from their computers. As of August 2004, all authors and reviewers will be asked to submit their manuscripts and their reviews electronically. The Elsevier Editorial System can be accessed at http://www.ees.elsevier.com/joa/. The Author Gateway link contains all details of the Elsevier Editorial System, including its Guide for Authors for manuscript submissions. For manuscripts submitted prior to August 2004, all revisions and reviews will continue in paper. As a service to our authors and reviewers, we have pre-registered on the Elsevier Editorial System site all recent authors and reviewers for whom we hold an e-mail address. In this case, you have received an e-mail informing you about your username and password, which you will need to access the Elsevier Editorial System. We welcome your feedback regarding the Elsevier Editorial System and value your continuing contributions to The Journal of Arthroplasty as an author and as a reviewer.
