Journal Editorial Administration

Comprehensive Support for a Wide Range of Editorial Tasks

We manage the entire process on your behalf, from facilitating editorial board meetings and streamlining the peer review process to soliciting manuscripts from authors, receiving submissions, conducting thorough proofreading, producing high-quality typesetting, and handling final printing, online publication, and distribution.

We are committed to quality at every stage and support the stable and continuous publication of your journal.

ABOUT

Overview of Journal Editorial Administration

Enhancing Journal Submission Volume and Quality

We provide support aimed at increasing journal submission volume and improving quality through initiatives such as digitization, English-language publication, the implementation of online submission (and peer review) systems and XML-based publication workflows, and applications for inclusion in Web of Science (to obtain an impact factor). Prompt and appropriate online publication enhances the accessibility of articles, increasing the opportunities for more researchers to read and cite them, which is expected to lead to an increase in both submission volume and quality.

Handling Complex Administrative Tasks

The day-to-day operations involved in editing and publishing can be a significant burden for busy faculty members. IMIC provides comprehensive support for every necessary step, helping to streamline editorial operations and optimize costs. We offer flexible solutions tailored to the specific needs of your academic society.
