Open access publisher Dove Medical Press and The Charlesworth Group have announced the collaborative launch of a Chinese-language website to better serve Dove's authors and users in China. The website is now live at www.dovepress.com.cn and integrates with Dove Medical Press' existing website.
China is a major contributor of articles and, together with the new website, Dove Medical Press will provide editorial and publishing support facilitated through its partner, The Charlesworth Group's China Experts team.
Key objectives of this partnership include supporting article submissions to Dove Medical Press journals from authors within the Chinese university and healthcare sectors, and developing a comprehensive profile of the Chinese academic, pharmaceutical and research markets specifically for Dove with an emphasis on feedback from authors, potential authors, institutions supporting open access and Chinese authorities.
In the competitive world of Open Access publishing, the ability to reach out to academic communities in this way, and in their own native language, with the support of an expert team, greatly enhances a publisher's ability to secure the best connections with and serve authors, readers and editorial contacts alike.
