Publishing consultancy

If you have a journal that is not delivering as well as it could, or need to reach a new audience with your publications, Yellowback's publishing consultancy services could help you to achieve your aims. 

Consultancy services are always tailored to our clients' individual needs but can encompass publication management and content analysis, such as:

• Helping you to develop a clear, cost-efficient strategy for an existing or new publication.
• Creating an accurate picture of current publication management and peer review processes. 
• Analysing published content and submissions (e.g. quantity, origin, subject and content type).
• Reviewing documentation (e.g. author, editor and reviewer guidelines).
• Analysing peer review turnaround times.
• Investigating current costs and potential cost savings.
• Assessing how well current publication management processes and content are supporting your wider aims and priorities. 
• Outlining alternative management and content models, with their pros and cons.
• Recommending actions to improve publication management and enhance content.
