Date: Tue, 3 Aug 2004 15:01:07 UT From: asr-editorialoffice@elsevier.com Subject: Announcing the Elsevier Editorial System... We are pleased to inform you of an exciting new development for Advances in Space Research As of July 1st 2004, we have started using the Elsevier Editorial System, an online submission and review system which is straight-forward and user-friendly: ees.elsevier.com/jasr Using Elsevier Editorial System (EES), the whole submission and review process will be handled electronically. We expect using this system will shorten publication times and have a very positive impact on the journal. So how does the process work? Authors submit their articles online by simply registering, logging-in, and submitting. The Journal Editorial Office will assign an appropriate Editor to the paper. The Editor in turn will then invite potential Reviewers. It is via the invitation e-mail that Editors send to Reviewers that you will receive a username and password to access the system for a specific paper. On entering the system, if you accept the invitation, you will gain full access to the manuscript and have the capability to enter your report on the paper online at your own convenience. If you have any objections to your contact details being held on the system, please inform us immediately via the Journal Editorial Office on asr-editorialoffice.com Technical Tips for using EES: 1) Please ensure that your e-mail server allows receipt of e-mails from the domain "elsevier.com", otherwise you may not receive vital e-mails. 2) We would strongly advise that you download the latest version of Acrobat Reader, which is available free at: www.adobe.com/products/acrobat/readstep2.html 3) For first-time users of Elsevier Editorial System, detailed instructions and a 'Tutorial for Reviewers' are available at: ees.elsevier.com/jasr If you have any technical difficulties whatsoever, please do not hesitate to contact the Journal Editorial office at: asr-editorsupport.com Kindest regards, Una Long Advances in Space Research Editorial Office Elsevier House, Brookvale Plaza, East Park, Shannon, Co.
