Site Design & Structure

✔ Page design ✔ Submission and review workflow templates ✔ Collection metadata management
Process: Your community should look and feel as awesome as your content, so we are here to help start-up or revamp your community pages and collections.

Article & Book Production

Process: Whether you’re looking to transition an existing journal or book onto PubPub or you’re starting a new one, we can help get your content into pubs. Additionally, we can help with attributing contributions, formatting media and citations, and connecting existing DOIs or create new DOIs on a per-pub level. We are also happy to work with you to have a unique look and feel for your journal.

Team Training

✔ Trainings tailored to your team’s use-case(s) and needs ✔ Dedicated email support ✔ Help documentation and recordings for reference
Process: Either as part of a larger support package or as a stand-alone service, we offer PubPub training for you and your team. Training occurs over the course of two, 60-90 minute Zoom sessions and are recorded. The first session provides an overview of the tool and all of its features, with the goal of offering a lay of the land and a sense of what’s possible. The second session occurs a few weeks later and is geared toward addressing specific questions and points of confusion, as well as brainstorming and offering guidance around how to execute on new ideas. Together, these sessions aim to enable groups to independently operate their PubPub communities to their fullest extent.
Cost: $300 for two sessions
