ACS Publications introduces ACS Direct Correct to improve the author experience
WASHINGTON, Aug. 18, 2017 鈥� With a commitment to continuously improving the author experience, the Publications Division of the American Chemical 中国365bet中文官网 (ACS) announces the debut of ACS Direct Correct, an innovative proofing service devised to enhance the publishing process for researchers.
This service will be rolled out across ACS Publications鈥� 50+ journals beginning Sept. 1, 2017. ACS Direct Correct allows for proof corrections and comments to be entered directly into the copy-edited manuscript file. This online process will make it significantly easier and more efficient for individuals and groups of authors to make and communicate any corrections prior to the rapid publication of their research paper.
鈥淲e continuously improve and modernize the process for our authors around the world,鈥� says Robert O鈥橠ell, vice president, Journal Production and Manufacturing Operations, ACS Publications Division. 鈥淎CS Direct Correct will allow our authors to focus more on the content of the article and less on the layout and minor adjustments to the manuscript.鈥�
ACS Direct Correct gives authors more control in the corrections process. Users will benefit from the straightforward interface that displays edited manuscripts in an easy-to-read file format, including editing tools and visible change tracking. The service also includes queries to proactively avoid common oversights, such as verifying funder information, reviewing supporting information and reviewing the spelling of author names, which will speed up the publication process for our authors.
