Strategic support for journal development
We assign a dedicated Publishing Editor to act as the publisher’s primary point of contact for the editors, society executives, and other key stakeholders. The Publishing Editor will work closely with you to understand, support and develop the aims of the journal, as well as the aims of any society or other partner organization.
The Publishing Editors are subject specialists with up-to date knowledge of publishing practice, the subject area of the journal and of competitor journals. This enables them to provide excellent strategic support. They will recommend and oversee the execution of strategies to help the journal stand out from the competition and capitalize on new opportunities.
Comprehensive editorial support
The quality of content published underpins the success of a journal and we are committed to helping you to ensure editorial excellence as the journal grows. SpringerOpen provides Journal Editorial Office services for administrative support such as management of the peer-review process and manuscript processing.
