Integra, a global leader in publishing and digital content solutions, and Aries Systems Corporation, a leading provider of workflow management technologies for the scholarly publishing community, are pleased to announce their partnership to automate manuscript screening within the editorial workflow. 

Manuscript screening at initial triage is highly manual, repetitive, and time-consuming – placing growing pressure and workload on the editorial teams. In addition to ensuring articles meet technical and quality standards, scholarly journals must also contend with increasing submission volumes and more sophisticated forms of research fraud. These challenges can lead to expensive workflow delays and increase the risk of problematic content progressing through the editorial process. To offer publishers an automated solution, Aries Systems and Integra have partnered to integrate EditorialPilot, an AI-powered manuscript screening platform, with Editorial Manager® (EM), the leading submission and peer review tracking system. 

Upon submission in EM, EditorialPilot’s automatically performs a range of technical, language, and research integrity checks tailored to each journal’s screening requirements. Editors can seamlessly access the EditorialPilot report directly within their existing workflow in EM – providing clear, actionable insights on potential concerns or areas for improvement. By enabling efficient quality and integrity checks at scale, this integration supports informed decisions at the editorial office and the publication of trustworthy scholarship. 

“Aries is dedicated to connecting publishers with the tools they need to succeed through our ecosystem of integrated technologies,” said Pierre Montagano, Aries Director of Business Development. “Our collaboration with Integra transforms the screening stage of the editorial workflow, saving journals valuable time through seamless automation. Leveraging AI and robust platforms, this cutting-edge integration identifies problematic papers early and protects journals from expensive retractions.” 

“Editorial teams are are managing unprecedented submission volumes while navigating increasingly complex research integrity challenges,” said Ashutosh Ghildiyal, VP – Growth & Strategy at Integra. “Integrating EditorialPilot with Editorial Manager allows journals to bring automated technical, language, and integrity checks directly into the submission workflow. Together, we are helping journals streamline informed decision-making, scale operations without compromising on quality or trust, and maintain the rigor that scholarly publishing demands.”
