Tracking the progress of journal articles is about to become a whole lot easier for RSC authors and referees, thanks to the launch of a new online service: ReSourCe. Designed to provide a user-friendly entry point, the ReSourCe homepage allows access to an extensive range of online publishing servicesviaa single ID and password.The ReSourCe services for referees were launched earlier this year and allow referees to download articles for review, upload their reports, view their refereeing history, and update research interest information. These referee services are available to any current RSC referee.Now ReSourCe has been integrated with the RSC online services for authors. New and current authors can register to use ReSourCe to view and access all the information and tools they need to submit their manuscripts. Existing ReSourCe users (referees) do not need to register again; they automatically have access to all author services using their existing ID.Electronic submission has been available to RSC authors for several years. ReSourCe takes this several steps further, allowing authors to track their manuscript through the various stages of the peer review and publication process and then collect their free electronic reprints. Over time, authors will be able to build up a valuable record of their publication history. A further development will also provide electronic collection of article proofs.In the past, authors had the chore of photocopying and mailing bulky manuscripts, then often seeing them delayed in the post for days. Online submission saw a dramatic saving in time and costs, and ReSourCe will make life even simpler for authors by enabling them to see the progress of their article from submission through to publication.We hope that you will discover ReSourCe for yourself as soon as possible, as an author, a referee, or both!
