American Society of Tropical Medicine and Hygiene Consolidates Production and Online Hosting with Sheridan
The American Society of Tropical Medicine and Hygiene (ASTMH) has chosen to streamline and optimize the journal production workflow for its flagship publication, The American Journal of Tropical Medicine and Hygiene (AJTMH), by partnering with Sheridan to handle all of its production and online hosting services. Sheridan’s unique offering integrates the production and online hosting stages, eliminating the traditional hand-off between the composition vendor and a third party online hosting platform to further accelerate the publishing process. The comprehensive 5-year agreement, starting in 2021, includes copyediting, composition, author billing, online hosting, printing, subscriber services, reprints, and content sales. With all services consolidated under one company, with one contract, and one relationship, ASTMH is joining a growing number of association and society publishers who are simplifying supplier management, extricating themselves from coordinating multiple vendors, eliminating the delays associated with vendor hand-offs, and containing costs with Sheridan.
