Author Center - Books, Journals, Magazines, Catalogs, Article Reprints | The Sheridan Group

Streamline your author interactions with a dedicated portal

The Author Center is an author-centered, browser-based electronic delivery and return system for author proofs. It has a simple interface that acts as a publisher-branded author portal for access to article proofs and other instructions and supporting documentation. By delivering supporting documentation and instructions via the Author Center, the initial author email notification can be simplified.

In addition, the Author Center allows authors to retrieve, correct, and return proofs as digital files. PDF annotation instructions are provided to assist authors in making digital corrections, but proofs can also be hand-marked and returned as scanned to PDFs.

The Author Center offers the advantage of managing author reminder notifications as well. Reminders include both download and return reminders that will prompt the author at designated intervals, thus freeing the production staff from managing this process manually. All files returned through the Author Center are delivered in a consistent manner to a designated production directory, and notifications come with standard subject lines for easy identification.
