REVIEWERS’ INFORMATION PACK 4. PEER-REVIEW SYSTEM 4.1. Elsevier Editorial System (EES) 4.2. Tools to Help Nearly all of Elsevier’s journals use the Elsevier Editorial System (EES) for managing the submission and peer-review process.

There is no longer a need for paper files, and the electronic system is faster and more environmentally friendly than paper systems. • Support hub for Editors, Authors and Reviewers Covering the world’s research literature, Scopus is the largest abstract and citation database of peer-reviewed literature with smart tools that allow users to track, analyze and visualize research. Its unique database contains abstracts and references from over 20,500 peer-reviewed journals from 5,000 international publishers across the scientific, technical, medical, social sciences and arts & humanities fields. Scopus also offers trade publications, book series and 5.3 million conference papers. Next to that, it contains ‘Articles-in-Press’ from more than 3,850 journals. These articles are available in Scopus prior to their official publication date. Enriched with alert tools, citation analytics and advanced search features, Scopus provides the fastest way to find relevant content and identify potential research partners. Applications can be added from the Applications Gallery. Alerts can be created that are triggered by new citations. Researchers can find authors and papers ranked by citation count, evaluate journals by their degree of relevance within a given field, and make contributions to their Author Profiles to better represent themselves to other researchers and institutions.
