Publishing Hub

A doorway to a better user experience

Are your authors frustrated with the disjointed experience of bouncing between submission, peer review, and payment tools? They want to love publishing with you, but your tech gets in the way.

The Publishing Hub acts as a bridge between all your systems. So you can welcome authors into a single, user-friendly interface with all the workflows and links they need.

Keep everyone up to speed

The Publishing Hub lets authors and admins see a manuscript’s progress without constant check-ins. More transparency, fewer support emails.

Center your brand

Customize the Hub with your logo and brand colors. Tailor text on the interface toward your authors. Make it your own.

Improve your tech stack

Want to upgrade your peer review, delivery, or production system? Change what you want, without disrupting the author experience.

Streamline author interactions

Everything authors need in one place

Give your authors a centralized dashboard where they can manage submissions, track where their manuscript is, and handle important admin like license signing and payments. 

The platform integrates all your existing third-party systems, including your preferred SSO. So instead of needing four different logins, your authors just need the one.  

Journal selection becomes simple

Help authors make smart publishing decisions without the guesswork. They can browse, compare, and favorite journals with key metrics and publishing options laid out clearly. 

Make it a breeze for authors to evaluate journals based on relevance and compliance.  

Streamline author interactions

Author verification that works

Validate author profiles using trusted identifiers like ORCID. ChronosHub connects affiliations, pulls in social media, and includes fraud detection. 

Create an environment where you know authors are who they say they are. It’s another line of defense in your fight against paper mills and other bad actors.

Chaos-free change management

One of publishers’ biggest gripes is feeling tied to systems due to the disruption it will cause to change them.  

Not so with the Publishing Hub. Swap out, upgrade, or completely overhaul your backend, while your authors keep working with the same familiar interface. No training sessions. No  panicked emails.
