The American Meteorological Society has been listening to authors and is releasing a new manuscript submission and tracking system. Features that have been requested by authors include: an ability to track manuscript progress through peer review and production, full support for LaTeX submissions, single user-name/password for all submissions. The new system will also improve production times for accepted papers.
