The standards of the journal publishing industry are constantly evolving. The complexities of scholarly journal publishing have grown substantially over the past few years – from hand-written manuscripts to MS Word to SGML to XML. These changes affect the publishing value chain as people expect high-quality manuscripts with robust research.

Publishers expect manuscripts to transition from peer review to publish quickly and smoothly. Still, there are roadblocks in the journal publishing production chain, such as poor structuring and inadequate author proofing. These can cause editorial impacts and delays in time to market. Interruptions in Open Access author payments can also impact publication schedules due to currency conversions.

Our mission is to provide end-to-end customized solutions to ensure watertight structure and proof reading. This will enhance the author experience and meet the high-quality expectations of our client.

Lumina Datamatics has introduced an HTML-based publishing solution to streamline and automate the production cycle. Complex activities such as structuring, copy editing, XML conversion, pagination and author proofing are automated in this platform. This guarantees delivery of proofs within 2-3 days or 48 hours. This platform also has an integrated Author Payment Module for Open Access platforms.
