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

"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

"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.

-Nick Newcomer, Vice President of Sales & Marketing, 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."

Production Management Module

Cloud-Based Proofing & Annotation & API Integration with Production Software

Work with peers to identify any needed changes to the final typeset work, absolutely. The Production Management Module ensures that authors, editors, contributors or any other entity associated with a publication project can easily access their final typeset work in a cloud-based proofing process that allows them to collectively annotate the work with any needed adjustments or corrections. Once all entities approve the proof, the publisher’s production team (or a third-party if they outsource) can then easily decipher the feedback and take the final annotated work and implement all needed corrections.

Proofing

Custom Workflows & API Integrations

Proofing

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 Workflows & API Integrations

If the provided workflow is not conducive to a publisher’s needs then they can take advantage of custom workflows that can be adapted to suit their specific acquisitions workflow, whether that includes additional communication tracking, integrating sales reports for market analysis, integrating additional imprints or divisions of the publishing house, or a multitude of other options.
