Abstract: The system includes an evaluation server configured to receive an article from an author. The article is then distributed to one or more reviewers who are technically qualified to evaluate the article. Further, the reviewers are provided with a scorecard that provides for specific aspects to be evaluated. Each reviewer completes his or her evaluation and submits his or her scores to the evaluation server. The evaluation server compiles the scores from each of the reviewers and calculates an aggregate score for the article. The server may be further configured to match the submitted articles with various technical journals that may be interested in the article. The server may give journals the ability to monitor articles that come through the process and that match a set of journal-definable requirements. The system may also provide authors with a list of matching journals.

Abstract: A transition metal compound containing at least one .pi.-bonded arene is contacted with an inorganic oxide, hydroxide, oxyhalide, hydroxyhalide or halide. The transition metal compound can be a compound such as titanium(O)ditoluene or TiCl.sub.2.2AlCl.sub.3 durene. The inorganic compound is preferably of high surface area and this may be inherent in the compound or can be achieved by a grinding procedure. The inorganic compound can be treated with a halogen containing compound either before, during or after the contacting with the transition metal compound. The product of the contacting is useful either as catalyst for the polymerization of unsaturated hydrocarbon monomers or as a component of such a catalyst. When used as a component of an olefine polymerization catalyst, the transition metal product can be mixed with an organo-aluminium compound and a Lewis Base compound such as an ester.
