Follow on Google News | Versita Open Expands to ScandinaviaFirst Scandinavian Journals Join Versita Open
By: Versita The newly contracted Scandinavian journals, besides the basic pack of services, have also selected optional functionalities such as online submission system (Editorial Manager), copyediting, language and technical editing. With the professional support from Versita, journals that make their content available for readers at no cost can enjoy the same sophisticated online publishing technology and powerful marketing tools used by paid-access journals of large international publishers, and can compete with them in terms of impact. Kerstin Stenius, Editor-in-Chief of Nordic Studies on Alcohol and Drugs (NAD) comments: “As most other scientific journals, we have lately noted the increased demand on researchers to publish scientific articles, but also increasing competition between journals over the most interesting and ground-breaking findings. We look forward to the professional assistance of Versita in getting a higher scientific impact by being included in even more prestigious indexing systems. Open Access through Versita gives NAD the possibility to reach out with new scientific findings through the internet, which has become the most important source of information for most citizens”. Dawid Cecula, Business Manager of Versita Open, comments: “Expanding our portfolio with publications from Northern Europe is a signal for us that a need for professional publishing services in the Open Access area is also shared by countries from outside the region. For this reason, we have decided to expand beyond Central and Eastern Europe and enter Scandinavia, which will help us even better fulfill our mission of global dissemination of scientific research.” End
