pyEditorialManager
Python interface for the Aries EditorialManager journal submission system.
Currently supported:
- Main menu: Reading of number of submissions per category (e.g. "Submissions being processed")
- Pending submissions: Dates & status of pending submissions (e.g. "under review")
- Completed submissions: Dates & status of completed submissions (e.g. "accepted")
Requirements
- beautifulsoup
- pandas
- html5lib (because the responses of the editorialmanager are malformed HTML, the python html parser from beautifulsoup cannot be used)
Installation
pip install editorialmanager
Usage
from editorialmanager import Journal
# instantiate the journal by using the abbreviation that is used by editorialmanager
# For example: The journal "Critical Care" has the EditorialManager URL https://www.editorialmanager.com/cric/
# Therefore, the journal name to use here is "cric"
cric = Journal('cric', username='my-username', password='my-password')
# Get the overview of submissions per type/category from the main menu
cric.overview()
# Returns:
