Amnet ContentSource launches Nvcleus, an automated multichannel publishing ecosystem, at the London Book Fair (LBF), enabling publishers of journals and micropublications to streamline processes, cut costs, and reduce turnaround times.
Nvcleus, an automated ecosystem that handles end-to-end processes from submission to publication of journals, preprints, and micropublications, is now available from Amnet ContentSource. This modular and scalable platform, built on open-source technology, applies cognitive elements to configurable publishing workflows and online collaboration, providing a seamless, efficient, and high-quality experience to all users.
The intuitive multi-role, permission-based dashboard of Nvcleus enables simplified interactions among relevant stakeholders in real time, including during peer review and editorial processes. With one-click upload for manuscript submission and machine-led auto-formatting, authors can enjoy the benefits of streamlined and efficient submission and pre-print workflows, with easy download to common formats. Customers benefit from low total cost of ownership (TCO), which is enabled by the partnership with the Coko Foundation, one of the leading communities for open-source software development.
The publishing process typically comprises a series of manual tasks, often time-consuming and repetitive, hampered by communications and reporting delays. In the publishing industry, labor-intensive and costly working procedures often lead to error-prone and non-compliant processes. Current digital publishing platforms offer limited configurations, flexibility, and interoperability.
Nvcleus, through a combination of advanced cognitive technology, intuitive interface, and flexible and scalable workflows, enhances the user experience for authors, reviewers, and editors. It streamlines the publishing process and enables cost-effective outcomes and shorter acceptance time to publication windows, while improving the quality of finished articles. This integrated platform for preprint articles, journals, and micropublications:
- typically shows benefits of 30% reduced delivery times and 30% cost savings.
- centrally supports multiple pre-print workflows with a high level of flexibility and configurability, scalable to support high volumes of projects in parallel.
