Testimonials

"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."

"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."

No more searching emails from contributors for missing items."

"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

Contracting Management Module

Contract/Agreement Issuance (Including Addendums), Tracking & Communications

The Contracting Management Module provides an interface to be able to easily generate, customize, and manage contract, permission, and all other essential agreements for publication projects. Timelines can be integrated into contract agreements on high levels or extremely granular levels, at the publisher’s choosing. All contracts are stored in one place and carry through with the publication project. Crucial in a time when it’s imperative to be able to easily recall terms of contract agreements and ensure the highest level of accountability, ethicality, and legality.

Contract Management

Following the acceptance of a proposed project, publishers can create, customize (which includes setting incremental deadlines), and execute publishing contract agreements and contract addendums. This also includes an integrated approval process for contract template creation. All changes to contracts are tracked in the system and a communication system allows for reminders to be sent for any unsigned contracts.

Custom Forms

If the provided proposal form templates are not conducive to a publisher’s needs then they can take advantage of the custom form application to create custom forms that can cater to a variety of publication project proposal types.

Dashboards

Upon login dashboards can be viewed to review status updates on project proposals under consideration. Dashboards can be customized to present critical status information that the publisher’s commissioning or acquisitions team needs to facilitate project approval.
