[…] are outweighed by the transition and ongoing costs of implementing the new system. The cost to convert from existing XML workflows to EPUB should not be a major factor. The transformation from XML formats such as JATS (Journal Article Tag […]
[…] to be plucked away during the nurturing phase; patents inspire investment in new initiatives that require a lot of new workflows due to constraints created by the innovation itself; and patents are time-limited, meaning they do expire and revert to […]
[…] arguments that are of purely internal significance. Meetings with the sales rep are not the time to argue about internal workflows, budget allocations, collection development strategies, personality conflicts, and management style. It’s unprofessional to have family quarrels in front of […]
[…] systems for peer review were implemented as publishers accepted more author manuscripts from an increasingly global pool of researchers. Production. Workflow was reengineered to start with “digital first,” and work was outsourced to lower costs and shorten cycle times, which […]

[…] digital technology unless they could rewrite the rules for this market in some way. And some did: lower costs through workflow engineering; higher prices from adding pages and issues to journals; and, most importantly, market dominance by bundling a number […]
[…] Responsive web design, especially the complex variety seen in the Boston Globe, is not easy to implement. It requires different workflows than many web developers are used to. While the process can begin with traditional wireframes and glossy design work, […]

[…] digital solutions, the obvious gap between the researcher and the publisher is even greater. How to create an end-to-end XML workflow? Should we develop our own software platform in house or work with one of the growing number of vendors? […]
[…] not necessarily that good ideas don’t exist. They do and might flourish, but realistically, the care and feeding of existing workflows and business processes need to be supported. In an era of reduced capacity for economic reasons, there isn’t the […]
