Helping authors navigate the publication process

Putting research together is half the journey; the real challenges arise when navigating through the rest of the publication process. Authors often struggle to cope with the technicalities and procedural demands of publication. We provide support at every step of the way, from deciding on a suitable journal for the manuscript to preparing artwork for submission, managing the submission system, and tracking the submission status.
