Interacting with your journals on ChronosHub is a breeze. Our mission is to simplify the process for authors, allowing more time for research. We prioritize clarity and transparency, providing easy access to information on charges, funder compliance, and manuscript status.
From logging in and creating a profile to managing multiple manuscripts, the Publishing Hub ensures a smooth experience for all authors, including co-authors.
The Publishing Hub serves as centralized gateway for all author interactions, giving them full visibility into their manuscripts across all your journals - from initial submission to peer review, licensing, and publication. Authors can track their progress and stay informed about pending actions, such as signing licenses or making payments.
Actions such as manuscript submission and payment processing can be completed directly on the platform using some of the other ChronosHub modules. For publishers leveraging third-party systems, the Publishing Hub acts as a seamless connector, consolidating all workflows into a single, intuitive interface for authors and co-authors alike. And there’s more to come - reviewers and editors will soon be integrated for an even more comprehensive experience!
Finding the right journal shouldn’t be a challenge. The Publishing Hub offers a simple, intuitive interface where authors can browse, compare, and favorite journals based on the criteria that matter most to them.
Much like a personalized streaming platform, the system prioritizes transparency - displaying key journal metrics and allowing authors to customize their view for side-by-side comparisons. This enables them to make informed decisions with ease.
Accessing a publisher’s systems can be frustrating, often requiring multiple accounts for different journals and across systems. The Publishing Hub eliminates login fatigue by providing single sign-on (SSO) across all journals, platforms, and systems. No more forgotten passwords or multiple logins!
With one secure login, authors gain seamless access to everything they need, ensuring a smooth and hassle-free publishing experience every time they interact with your brand.
Profile creation without validation should be a thing of the past. The Publishing Hub ensures data integrity by instantly validating author profiles against known identifiers. This means fewer errors, cleaner data, and a smoother submission process – and of course, piece of mind that author really are who they say they are!
Authors can add multiple affiliations, link social media accounts to enhance their profiles, and customize notification preferences for a more personalized and engaging experience.
Additionally, email domain verification and location-based checks help detect and prevent fraudulent submissions, such as those from paper mills, ensuring a more trustworthy publishing environment.
