Europe PMC Team

Europe PMC is getting ready to release an upgraded version of Europe PMC
plus, a system for PIs supported by [Europe PMC
funders](https://europepmc.org/Funders) to submit accepted manuscripts
for inclusion in Europe PMC and PMC. The new version of Europe PMC plus
has an improved design, and new features for creating and reviewing
manuscript submissions.

The new Europe PMC plus will be released on 1 May 2019. Just three
things are needed to complete a submission to Europe PMC plus:

Funding information

[Researchers submitting manuscripts to Europe PMC plus must be funded by
one of the Europe PMC funders. Grant information can be linked to

::::::::::::

After a manuscript is submitted to Europe PMC plus, the submission goes
through quality assurance before being processed into XML, HTML, and PDF
versions for archiving, indexing, and display in Europe PMC and PMC.
Before being made publicly available on Europe PMC, these web versions
are made available to the reviewing researcher for a final review, to
make any needed corrections.

The new submission system offers an updated design, clearer workflows,
and new features, including an improved preview of submitted files, the
ability to view submitted files and processed web versions side by side,
and improved communication tools, which simplify creating and reviewing
manuscript submissions.

:::::::

Since supporting open science is an important part of Europe PMC's
mission,  the new Europe PMC plus is a fully open source application. It
is based on [PubSweet](https://pubsweet.coko.foundation/), a free,
open-source framework for building state-of-the-art publishing
platforms, designed to be modular and flexible, so that individual
components can be easily reused and adapted for various workflows.

The new Europe PMC plus has been developed in collaboration with the
Collaborative Knowledge Foundation (Coko) and community partners
including eLife and Hindawi. PubSweet community members subscribe to a
common vision of creating open technologies that improve the speed of
research.
