FOR
IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Carlsbad, CA, USA - February 11, 2003
- BioMed Central and Thomson ISI ResearchSoft announce new benefits
for the author community by speeding submissions and increasing
accuracy. Authors who submit articles to BioMed Central's online
publishing system using Reference Manager 10 will automatically
be entitled to a discounted rate for BioMed Central's article processing
charge, adding a further benefit to the hours saved by using Reference
Manager 10 in their research and writing.
Manuscripts
formatted with Reference Manager 10 will be processed automatically
into BioMed Central's online full-text format. This speeds the processing
time for the author's manuscript and reduces the amount of proofreading
required to deliver the final published article. Details of BioMed
Central's discounted processing charge for Reference Manager 10
users are available at www.biomedcentral.com/info/refman.asp.
"Our
aim is to make the publishing of research articles more efficient,
giving more control to the authors," said Matthew Cockerill,
Technical Director, BioMed Central. "Reference Manager-prepared
manuscripts help us to deliver on speed and efficiency in the publishing
process, bringing forward the desired future of large-scale open
access to research papers."
"For
years authors have saved countless hours using Reference Manager.
Now, publishers are also able to benefit directly and accelerate
their publication of research," said David L. Kochalko, President
of ISI ResearchSoft. "With Reference Manager, we are able to
serve the needs of both the author and the publishing communities."
