   I am pleased to announce the formal publication of "Web-based Journal Manuscript Management and Peer-Review Software and Systems"

In recent years, a variety of experimental and commercial systems have been developed that facilitate the management and review of scholarly manuscripts for electronic and paper publication. Among the established and recent Web-based systems are:

·	AllenTrack* 
·	Bench>Press*
·	EdiKitSM
·	ESPERE
·	Journal Assistant*
·	Manuscript Central*
·	Rapid Review* 

  For each, a brief overview is provided, as is a outline of the features and functionalities of the system/service, contact information, Web site, and vendor.

   Electronic access to the article is available for subscribers via the MCB University Press Emerald service [http://www.emeraldinsight.com/]
  
 Enjoy!
