Features and Enhancements

Reviewer Management

We are excited to announce that this release (3.86) and the next one (3.87) mark the foundational work for a new InfoReady module focused on Reviewer Management. A handful of institutions are participating in our Early Adopter program and will begin using the Reviewer Management module starting in October. We’ll continue adding to and refining the module over the next few months and plan to make it available in early 2027. Stay tuned for more news in the future, including how to add the module to your license. Exciting times ahead!

Accessibility

We believe that accessible code is good code. But we do miss things from time to time. You can view any known issues on our Accessibility Forecast.

Our VPAT is up to date.


If you spot a specific accessibility issue at any time, please submit a ticket to the support team.

The “Accessibility” link in the lower right corner of your InfoReady site provides access to these and other accessibility information and resources.

Other Enhancements

Every release addresses a variety of bugs, performance improvements, and accessibility enhancements to maximize your InfoReady experience. The InfoReady Support Team will reach out directly to any clients who have submitted tickets for any specific issues resolved with this release.
