Overview

As a global player in the academic publishing industry, Glotan Research Services’ reputation thrives on their ability to deliver smooth management of the editorial workflow. To that end, the client was seeking an all-in-one platform for managing the entire editorial process, from manuscript submission and peer review to editing, publishing, and indexing.

Challenge

To streamline the publication process and improves efficiency.

Glotan Research Services aimed to streamline the publication process and improve efficiency. With a diverse range of research and academic activities, they required a robust and scalable solution to manage their editorial workflow effectively. The challenge was to provide a digital platform that could handle the complex needs of academic publishing while ensuring accessibility and ease of use for all users.

Given their extensive involvement in research, conferences, and publishing, Glotan Research Services needed a platform that could integrate these activities cohesively and support their global operations.

Solution

We designed and implemented an Open Journal Systems (OJS) platform tailored to their specific requirements. The goal was not only to establish a foundation for their editorial workflow but also to ensure that their staff remained current in their knowledge and skills, enabling them to manage the editorial process effectively.

The implementation process involved installing and customising the OJS platform to suit Glotan Research Services’ diverse requirements. This included integrating various features to manage manuscript submissions, peer reviews, editing processes, and publication workflows seamlessly. The platform also ensured proper indexing and metadata management to enhance the discoverability of published research.

Results

The team worked closely with Glotan Research Services to integrate the core modules and content into their existing systems, making it easy for their global team to manage the editorial process collaboratively and efficiently. The OJS platform now serves as a central hub for Glotan Research Services’ editorial activities, accessible to staff and contributors worldwide at their convenience.

Through this successful partnership, we have demonstrated our ability to deliver innovative and effective solutions tailored to the unique needs of academic organizations like Glotan Research Services.
