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,
