Elsevier Editorial System (EES)

Spotlight on EES – the Elsevier Editorial System

Welcome to our new program which pulls together training materials for editors, authors and reviewers to help you get maximum benefit from the Elsevier Editorial System’s range of features and functionality supporting the submission and peer review process.

Our growing series of bite-sized, live online trainings will highlight tips and tricks for Editors, Reviewers and Authors. Topics are selected based on frequently asked questions to our Author Support Team and EES Trainers.

EES 6.1 Upgrade

Journals on EES will soon be upgraded to EES 6.1. The upgrade will bring changes to the reviewer selection process and greater flexibility to editor assignment, and will provide a new “look and feel” to familiar features like Classifications. We offer a short overview of the new features in an Adobe Captivate slideshow and invite you to access one of the recorded training sessions below for an in-depth look at the specific new features.
