Allen Press Collaborates with Ecological Society to Develop Online Publication Workflow

ESA, a longtime customer, approached Allen Press in the spring of 2010 about developing a workflow that would allow them to publish accepted papers within a matter of days. Project planning began in April, and within 4 short months ESA launched the first issue of Ecosphere. More than 20 Allen Press staff, including departmental representatives from peer review, file distribution, composition, and online publishing, collaborated with ESA Publications staff led by David Baldwin, Managing Editor, and Ellen Cotter, Associate Managing Editor, to discuss solutions and provide guidance for this integrated author-to-reader workflow.
