Testimonials

"The e-Editorial Discovery Proofing system has saved us time and effort from the moment it was adopted."

-Mike Brehm, Managing Editor – Production, IGI Global

"I appreciate the eEditorial Discovery System for its simplicity both on our side and on the researcher’s side. It provides us a useful internal resource where we can collect, store, and share information during proposal review so that we may gain a comprehensive understanding of the submitted proposal, internal and external overlap, the editor’s past with us, and more in one webpage."

-Mikaela Felty, Assistant Acquisitions Editor, IGI Global

"Using eEditorial Discovery provides a historical roadmap of every IGI Global book project, from proposal submission, project contracting, to project completion. The easy-to-use interface gives Editors a single location on their Project Dashboard to approve chapter proposals, track full chapters to include collecting copyright forms and author biographies, and assign chapters for peer review and revisions. No more searching emails from contributors for missing items."

-Jan Travers, Director of Intellectual Property & Contracts, IGI Global

"Perhaps one of the greatest strengths of the system is its agility and awareness of the ever-evolving mandates of the industry – meaning that it is continuously looking to innovate and update to match best industry practices. This is integral during a time where systems left stagnant or set in old ways are fast becoming impractical."

-Melissa Wagner, Vice President of Editorial, IGI Global

"For IGI Global’s marketing team, eED acts as a hub for custom reporting and even provides functionality to store and share promotional collateral and inframtion with the masses. Simply put, adding eED into the marketing function has helped build efficiency and effectiveness into our day-to-day workflow."

-Nick Newcomer, Vice President of Sales & Marketing, IGI Global

"I am very excited for the launch of the new multi-client system and the opportunities it presents in providing publisher and user portals that can better support publishers’ development teams and stakeholders to manage their publication projects."

-Alexis Miller, Journal Development Coordinator, IGI Global

"The vision was, and will continue to be, to provide the industry with a complete publishing solution that addresses publisher and contributor needs simultaneously. By focusing on shortcomings of competing systems we used innovative design and cutting-edge technology to deliver a robust solution with maximum flexibility. With emphasis on publisher customization, complete REST API library, and user experience this system can handle one or all the needs of any publisher."

-Justin North, Vice President of Technology, IGI Global

Global Accounts

Can manage different internal resources and access points for publisher clients. Upon login there is a full dashboard of all publisher clients with links to their subscription information including the modules they are subscribed to. There is a clear breakdown of the total number of overall users of the system, the total number of publishers, as well as the total number of current demo/trial requests. Those logged in as a global admin can manage all aspects of the publisher’s workflow in the system, including setting them up with custom forms and workflows. Default settings can be controlled so that different users default to specific login pages/viewpoints.

Publisher and User Accounts

Multiple publisher clients can be setup with the ability to manage different internal resources and access points for general users (authors, editors, etc.) They can create new projects and workflows for each publication project. As soon as the publisher account user logs into the system they will have access to their dashboard which provides a full overview of the total number of users, as well as a breakdown of active and inactive users. There is also an overview of the books, journals, and other various projects in process. Publishers can toggle between different product types (books, journals, project proposals, other special projects) on the same navigation page.

Dashboards

Publisher pages can be customized with logos, instruction, and ads. Additionally, login pages can be created on the publication level as well where users will see the full branding and navigation unique to the specific book or journal.

Billing Management

General users will see a dashboard of their projects upon login and can toggle between publishers, making it easy to manage numerous projects they may have in process with different publishers all over the globe. They can filter by publication type and publisher, making it easy to manage their workloads on a publisher-by-publisher basis.

Power BI Reports

Upon login, dashboards can be customized and presented to suit users on the global admin level, publisher level, and author, editor, contributor, reviewer, and publication level. Users can see critical stats, allowing them to hone-in on where attention is urgently needed on different projects. Notifications align with the dashboards letting users know what actions currently require attention.

Storefront

The billing management module allows for a multitude of e-commerce transactions including the ability for global admins to manage trials (with custom start and end dates), as well as to manage, invoice, and collect payment for publisher subscriptions to the eEditorial Discovery System. Subscriptions and trials can be managed and monitored by the publisher, allowing them to start or end a subscription, and/or add modules to their subscription at any time.
