Manuscript Central v4.2 to Offer its Customers Access to Services Verifying the Originality of All Scholarly Content Submitted on the System
Philadelphia , PA USA - May 1, 2008 - The Scientific business of Thomson Reuters today announced that Manuscript Central’s online workflow system will incorporate the iThenticate checking tool into its submission and peer review process, and will develop suitable policies and guidelines. CrossRef recently announced an agreement with iParadigms, LLC to launch the CrossCheck service to aid in verifying the originality of scholarly content. Following on the success of CrossRef’s recent pilot of CrossCheck, the service is scheduled to go live in June and will be offered via Manuscript Central.
Manuscript Central’s integration with the iThenticate tool will allow CrossCheck member journals and publishers to send submissions for comparison to the iThenticate service at any point in the peer review or acceptance workflow. With status indicators and a quick view of comparison results, journals will be enabled to investigate suspected documents much further back in the peer review process, potentially saving valuable time and resources in the peer review workflow.

Business Process Management (BPM) und Business Rules Management (BRM) zusammen in einer service-orientierten Architektur (SOA) sind die methodischen und technischen Voraussetzungen, um Geschäftsprozesse zu industrialisieren und agil zu sein.
