Scholarly communication runs on relationships. With editors who give their time and expertise to journals they care about. With the communities and stakeholders whose engagement makes the work possible.
When those relationships are strong, the work flows. When they are not, it shows – in submission rates, reviewer declines, member drop-off, and a general sense that your community is not as connected to your organisation as it should be.
We design and build audience engagement programmes for scholarly publishing and research organisations, drawing on real experience of how these communities work, what they value, and what builds lasting commitment over time. We get on with it, work with your team, and make sure the programme becomes real.
Editors give a lot. When the relationship works well they are advocates, community builders, and genuine partners. We design programmes that strengthen editorial community, clarify expectations, and bring editors along on change – so they feel properly part of what you are doing, not just recruited and forgotten.
We can also work with organisations on programmes for a range of communities – including early career researchers, librarians, society members, and advisory board structures. Get in touch to talk about what your organisation needs.
