Testimonials

"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

"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

"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

"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

"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

"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

"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
