Our commitment to publishing excellence - high quality production
Where quality comes first - Behind every excellent journal is a team of committed, collaborative publishing professionals whose high standards match your own.
Reliable, rapid Production - We aim to provide you with professional services that ensure quality in budget and on schedule, gauging our level of Production support to your needs. Research shows that Editors and Society officers place great value on these factors, and conversation between our Production staff and our partners confirms their importance on a daily basis.
Our US and UK Production teams work together to continuously improve and enhance our services, through initiatives such as the Central Article Tracking System (CATS), iFirst e-before-print publication, cumulative compilation of issues online and our new, even quicker Production workflows. We deliver these innovations without compromising our high quality standards.
A traditional belief in quality - Research shows that 43% of errors in accepted manuscripts relate to references. Taylor & Francis Online helps minimise these errors through reference download tools, speeding the Production process.
Innovation - Taylor & Francis has also developed a Distributed Print on Demand (DPOD) workflow whereby the same product is printed in multiple locations thereby reducing time to market and reducing the environmental impact of distributing journals globally. By splitting the print run between locations we are able to print using the more environmentally friendly digital process. This is just one of the ways in which we are constantly seeking to innovate our systems.
'Imago Mundi holds that the overall presentation of a journal is a matter of considerable importance, and it is a matter of immense satisfaction to me to receive compliments, as I frequently do, on the appearance of the journal. Taylor & Francis are unstinting in their readiness to help me achieve good reproductions of our many images (which are both mono- and poly-chrome) and a pleasing layout of all the different forms of text (articles, bibliographies, chronicles, tables and appendices etc.). Taylor & Francis's technical experience, willingness to advise, and readiness to accommodate the individuality (not to say idiosyncrasies) of their different publications is both reassuring and rewarding for the academic editor.'
