Resources
With a team of over 30 experienced managing editors, we can always provide an excellent service, all through the year.
Time
Our flexibility means that the journal is only allocated the specific number of hours that is required to reach and maintain its targets, resulting in a cost saving for the society or publisher. The work is spread throughout the working week so a smaller journal is no longer run by an editorial assistant who comes to work 2 days a week. An on-line editorial assistant logs on every day and attends to the needs of the Editor, Editorial Board Member, Reviewers and Authors as required.
Continuity
Change of journal Editor usually means a change of editorial office and staff with a period of recruitment and re-training. This can cause additional expense for the journal and also a potential delay while the handover occurs. With an on-line editorial assistant there is no need to change the editorial office. This provides stability in these situations with the ability to work with both the outgoing Editor and the incoming Editor to ensure that the journal continues to run smoothly and to schedule.
Cover Available
Editorial Office Ltd provides permanent and temporary journal cover. We can provide cover for holidays, sickness, maternity leave and we are able to ‘pick-up’ a journal workflow at short notice and with minimal disruption.
Cost Savings
Our pricing structure reflects the actual hours required to manage the journal rather than the cost of running the whole editorial office. We can also adjust our pricing if two or more journals are placed with us at the same time, offering further reductions in the cost of running the editorial office.
