Enhancing the tools of our Publisher partner - Thieme
Thieme, an award-winning international medical and science publisher that serves health professionals and students, wanted to help their authors enhance the quality of their manuscripts and streamline the peer review process. They wanted to maintain their reputation for quality in medical publishing. We enabled a seamless process for better manuscript submission and created excellent quality manuscripts for Thieme’s researchers. This encouraged them to use our top-tier author services before submitting to international journals.
Challenges
- A German publisher increasingly publishing manuscripts in English, leading to rejections due to English not up to the mark.
- No navigation system in place for submitting manuscripts for author services.
- Because of no streamlined peer review process, their reviewers found it difficult to focus on technical aspects of the paper.
- Increased demand to create internationalized content in multi-language versions of their journal titles – German, Chinese, Japanese, and English.
