P站视频

Author: Scott Epstein

There鈥檚 a reason P站视频 publishes so many journals, even within disciplines鈥攁nd that reason is that one size does not fit all. So to best serve authors, we鈥檝e worked to provide the right venues for as many researchers as we possibly can.

Having a variety of journals, even in individual disciplines, means we can offer options and alternatives to authors looking for the right home for their work. To help do that, we鈥檝e built an editorial Transfer Desk so that if one journal rejects a submission for reasons other than lack of scholarly soundness, we can help the authors get that paper resubmitted and published in another P站视频 journal with a minimum of wasted time and lost effort. 

What this could mean for scholarly authors is that giving thought to a journal鈥檚 publisher鈥攁nd that publisher鈥檚 broader portfolio in the author鈥檚 discipline鈥攃ould help streamline the submission process. For example, at P站视频, even while most of our journals have independent Editors and Editorial Boards made up of active researchers*, all our journals share the same underlying DNA. They all have the same high-quality production, hosting, indexing, search optimization, archiving and services. Which means that if you鈥檝e selected a P站视频 journal as your first choice, you should know that all other P站视频 journals feature the same quality on all those services.

Of course, everyone would love for their first-choice journal to accept their submission on the first try. But if you鈥檙e thinking of a P站视频 journal for your article, if you consider other P站视频 journals as your second or third choices, the Transfer Desk can help you keep lost time and effort to a minimum. And because we have so many options, there are probably journals similar to any other 鈥渘ext choice鈥� venue you may have considered from other publishers. 

Plus, we have Editorial Submission Advisors (ESAs) working at our Transfer Desk. ESAs personally review submissions, and they make recommendations based on their human reading of the manuscript, combined with their own experience as researchers in the field and their knowledge of P站视频鈥檚 journal portfolio. They collaborate with authors to find good transfer options for every submission they review. You can read our first interview with the Louisa Flintoft, the head of the Transfer Desk; and watch for an interview with Stella Georgiadou, Senior Submission Editor, coming soon. And we will soon be launching a podcast series featuring the ESAs, talking about some of the more notable papers for which they鈥檝e found the right homes.

*Some P站视频 journals have in-house editorial staff; for example, the Nature-titled journals, as well as the BMC Series and Flagship journals, and the SN journals like SN Applied Sciences. But the vast majority of P站视频 journals have Editors and Boards composed of active researchers in the field.
