Web of Science launches partner programme in ScholarOne
The Web of Science Group has launched a partner programme to connect publishers with trusted third parties in ScholarOne, the workflow-management system for publishers. Keith Collier, vice president for product management at Web of Science, said: ‘With up-and-coming vendors entering the marketplace all the time, the ScholarOne partner programme supports publishers in working with trusted third parties seamlessly. ‘It will connect publishers with more than 15 of our partners, including bioRxiv, Unsilo, Copyright Clearance Center and Code Ocean, to name just a few. It will help publishers to speed up their submission times, build relationships with their authors and reviewers, and streamline their peer review workflow. In addition, partners will get access to extensive API and integration capabilities, and ScholarOne users will have a wider range of options.’
One of the inaugural partners is Unsilo –
the result of a successful pilot conducted over the past year, with 43 editors across seven publishers. The pilot tested five AI

librarians and academics who subscribe to Research Information. We will hold the draw on 10 January, and the winner will be notified soon after that. Please note that this offer does not include travel to the event, or accommodation, so may be more suited to readers in the south-east of the UK – though it is open to all!

capabilities focused on improving the time to screen and peer review papers. As a result, ScholarOne has already
integrated two new capabilities from Unsilo; key sentences and key words, which give editors additional insight into the manuscript, simplifying their decision to send a paper out for peer review. The ability to view the key sentences and key words extracted from the manuscript is built directly into the ScholarOne platform workflow, providing editors with assistance at exactly the time and place that they need it. Collier added: ‘The next phase of the
partnership will test new automated technical checks. Our initial goal is to reduce the time it takes to make a decision about whether to send the manuscript to peer review, and to reduce the number of manuscripts that go to peer review and end up rejected.’ In addition to providing these services
to editors, the Unsilo integration also provides checks directly to authors at the point of submission, allowing them to correct errors or provide missing data before the manuscript reaches an editor.
