Editage, part of Cactus Communications (CACTUS) have announced a partnership with Cambridge University Press. The partnership is designed to elevate the quality and impact of scholarly work, providing researchers with enhanced support and resources.
As a part of this collaboration, Editage offers a comprehensive pre-publication service portfolio, including English language editing, academic translation, manuscript formatting, artwork preparation, and journal recommendation. These tailored services aim to support authors in meticulously preparing their manuscripts for submission to academic journals, ensuring adherence to the highest standards of quality and compliance.
In addition to pre-publication services, the collaboration includes research communication services. This offering comprises plain language summary, video short, graphical abstract, and illustration enabling researchers to enhance the discoverability, reach, and impact of their work. These services go beyond traditional publication support, providing researchers with tools to effectively communicate the significance of their research to a wider audience.
Commenting on the partnership, Nikesh Gosalia, President, Global Academic and Publisher Relations, Cactus Communications said, "We are excited about our partnership with Cambridge University Press, recognizing the rising significance of strategic services. By offering researchers a comprehensive suite of services, our goal extends beyond supporting them in their pre-publication journey. It is a strategic step towards engaging with researchers effectively and empowering them with tools to communicate their research effectively. This collaboration reflects our shared commitment to advancing scholarly communication and empowering researchers globally."
Chris Bennett, Commercial Director at Cambridge University Press, said: “In a world of increasingly open research, with the challenges presented by inequity in scholarly communication and the role of generative AI, it’s more important than ever for responsible publishers to support authors in the best possible communication of their findings throughout the research process. I believe that our partnership with Editage expands our mutual capability to do so considerably, to the benefit of scholarly communities worldwide.”
