Publisher John Wiley & Sons, Inc., US, has announced a partnership with The Sheridan Press, print and publication services provider to the STM and scholarly journal community. Through this partnership, Wiley's online only journal titles will be available as Print on Demand (POD) copies, delivered through Sheridan's sophisticated production system. Starting in January 2013, a total of 145 online only titles will now be available in print via this solution.
Over the past several years, The Sheridan Press has built digital capabilities that include a proprietary interactive customer portal that generates orders for high quality digital POD journals for a growing number of STM publishers.
The partnership provides Wiley customers with full order processing capability for print copies of journals. According to Pat Stricker, President and COO of The Sheridan Press, outsourcing of this service takes advantage of Sheridan's sophisticated POD order intake interface and e-commerce capabilities and provides Wiley another channel through which to meet the needs of their customers.
