The Journal of Viral Hepatitis goes electronic

On 1 April 2002, the Journal of Viral Hepatitis will launch a new online submission and peer-review system using Manuscript Central at http://jvh.manuscriptcentral.com. As both Editors and clinical investigators we are very conscious of the time taken between submission and seeing research published, and as a Journal we need to do all that we can to reduce this. We have already set a standard of 8 weeks between submission and decision and to achieve (and hopefully surpass) this, we are now ready to introduce fully electronic submission and manuscript handling. What are the benefits? As authors most of you already write manuscripts using a word processor and create figures electronically. The new electronic system can upload a variety of files. There will be no more need to print multiple copies of a manuscript and mail or courier them (often internationally) to the London editorial office. You can submit from any computer, anywhere, with nothing more than an Internet connection and a web browser. Your submission and manuscript number will be immediately confirmed, with no doubts about delivery and postal delays. The moment you click the ‘submit’ button your manuscript is available to the Editorial Office. There will be no further postal delays as your manuscript is passed between Editors and to reviewers – this will now proceed entirely electronically with manuscripts transferred across the globe at the click of a button. You will be able to log onto the system at any time and check on the progress of your submission through the peer-review process. You will also be able to respond to Editor and reviewer comments online, submit a revised manuscript and track the progress of this through the same system. As a reviewer, we will check your availability by E-mail. Once we know you are willing to review a paper, the manuscript will be made available for review over the World Wide Web. The report form is filled online along with your comments on the paper (which can be copied and pasted from any word processor). Again, the moment you submit your review it is available to the Editors, so a decision can be made in the quickest possible time. Used to its full capabilities, the Journal of Viral Hepatitis Manuscript Central system has considerable potential for improving the speed and efficiency of submission and review. We hope (and encourage) all authors and reviewers to make use of the journals online submission site at http://jvh. manuscriptcentral.com. We will continue to accept paper/ disk submissions in the interim period or in cases where authors do not have the facilities for online submission, but we hope to move fully onto this system as soon as possible. Full instructions for manuscript submission are available on the site. Of course, with any change there may be occasional problems, so fast and friendly support is available by telephone (in the UK + 44 20 74044101 and in the US + 1 866 8493738), E-mail to support@scholarone.com, on the Web at http://blackwellsupport.custhelp.com, or by clicking the ‘Get Help Now’ icon on the site at any point. We are also keen to receive feedback on any aspect of the new system and suggestions for further improvement. So again, please help the Journal facilitate faster publication by making use of the site.
