The framework includes a robust back end and components for authoring and collaboration, editing and production, flexible and configurable workflow management and user dashboards and administration interfaces. The use cases include journal and book publishing. INK framework: ingesting, converting […]

[…] networks (SCNs) are enabling the sharing of research works at an unprecedented level — and they provide value-added features like workflow facilitation and author profiles. Academia.edu claims to have 25 million users; ResearchGate, 8 million; and Mendeley (bought by Elsevier […]
[…] cross-publisher services with more direct researcher value; in my last post, I looked at this trend of publishers investing in workflow tools. There is a sense that publishers are thinking more strategically about where being different is a good thing, […]
