Publishing System – quick and agile
The publishing application in COSIS.net connects all those involved in the publication process, ensures the correct selection of responsible persons, monitors all deadlines and keeps the process lean, fast and agile. 6 Steps: Invitation, Author's Upload, Peer Review/Editing, Production, Publication, PromotionThe publication system covers the entire process, from inviting authors on specialist subjects to publishing and advertising the publication. This can be carried out both independently of classical publishers or can be partially licensed. As of February 2011, the first modules can also be switched over to different languages. This means that, for example, the author tools are already available in German. 1. Akquisition of Authors / InvitationsIf you are planning a magazine issue or an anthology, send the invitations with the system and observe the return replies. The authors can immediately upload their articles at the right place. The scientific network can support you as you acquire authors. 2. Author's UploadThe author submits an article (a manuscript, images, additional data) and the system monitors the entry by checking the data format and resolution of the image and puts in requests for the necessary metadata. 3. (Public) Peer Review and Editorial ManagementAccording to the settings for the respective publication, a project editor will be defined - if necessary by automatic means - and accompanies the article or chapter through the peer review or editorial process. This is carried out by selecting a specialized editor or reviewer and then releasing the article for production, if necessary after corrections by the author. Public peer review: COSIS.net also offers a successful system for public discussion of the manuscript before final publication, particularly for open access publications. This additionally guarantees the evaluation process and almost completely rules out the possibility of scientific misconduct. 4. ProductionIn the production module, the producer of the manuscript forwards it to other service providers, such as photo editors and copy editors, or even to XML structuring. After the producer has checked the results, the article can be released for typesetting, the typesetting service provider can be chosen, the author's corrections from the galley proof can be incorporated and finally the issue or collected volume can be finalized and the data can be forwarded to the printer and e-book distribution. Pre-print publishing is, of course, also possible. 5. PublicationIn the publication module the metadata is editorially checked and automatically sent on to search engines and archiving services. 6. Advertising and Sales SupportWith its alert services, COSIS offers all publishers the possibility of advertising anchored in the community. Additionally, individual new articles or books can be advertised in the news system. Our online bookshop can carry out the sale and, if necessary, also take into account subscriptions, restrictions to certain IP areas and special discounts for certain target groups. AdvantagesAll publication categories: magazines, anthologies, monographs and e-booksThe newly designed system not only maps the workflow of scientific journals, but also that of such productions as anthologies and monographs. Simultaneous e-book production can be linked to print production. Of course, purely electronic products can also be mapped. Proven technology: open industry standards

Distinctive features / USP / Highlights
Highlight: Issue-ManagerThe new issue manager in COSIS.net allows you to comfortably plan your journal, taking into consideration the contribution of all those concerned: authors, publishers, assistants, editors, reviewers, proof-readers, producers, image editors, typesetters etc. All assets (articles, reviews, editorials, advertising) etc. can be conveniently administrated here. You will always have an overview of how full the issue will be (with the estimated and actual number of pages) and can very easily move articles from one edition to another. A traffic-light system will display the work progress of each object and will immediately signal if any deadlines have been exceeded. Highlight: Image ManagementEvery producer or image editor will love our new tool for image management: it displays all existing images, gives a warning if any are missing and gives the image editor and the layouter clear instructions, for example as to how large the images should be displayed. We have also developed a traffic-light system for this – it will display all possible image formats in your publication and, independently of your settings for print resolution and the resolution of your images, will show you in a simple way how large you can make the image without risking loss of quality. The system allows you to quickly and easily customize your publication parameters. ReferencesOur success story: with its unique public peer review and lean production system, COSIS.net has made a significant contribution to Atmospheric Chemistry and Physics, one of the most successful open access journals, which has become the market leader in its field in only 10 years.
