Cactus Communications and CSIRO Publishing partner for author editorial support

Cactus Communications is partnering with CSIRO Publishing to support the Australian science publisher’s authors with enhanced access to professional language and writing support services.

The collaboration will see prospective authors gain access to a comprehensive range of editorial services through Cactus’s flagship brand Editage. These services, delivered by subject matter experts, are designed to improve manuscript clarity, readability and overall presentation quality.

Authors will be able to access support covering multiple aspects of manuscript preparation, including support with grammar, style, layout, citations, formatting, references and more, to ensure manuscripts are ready for submission. This partnership aims to enhance the communication of research outcomes in CSIRO Publishing journals and beyond.

Nikesh Gosalia, Chief Partnership Officer, Global Publishers and Societies, Cactus Communications, said: “At Cactus, we recognise the critical role that not-for-profit scientific publishers such as CSIRO Publishing play within national and international scientific communities. Our collaboration with CSIRO Publishing reflects a shared commitment to amplifying the value and impact of scholarly work. Partnership with organisations such as CSIRO Publishing have the potential to elevate the quality of research output on a global scale, driving greater research impact and innovation.”

Alice Black, Head of Journals Editorial and Research Integrity, CSIRO Publishing, added: “CSIRO Publishing strives to enhance the impact of science by communicating the outcomes of research and empowering decision makers. Partnering with Cactus makes it simpler for researchers to access high-quality editorial support and improve the clarity and presentation of their research outcomes. This collaboration will help to reduce barriers to publication, giving authors a stronger chance of successful publication.”

This partnership aligns with Cactus’s broader mission to make scholarly publishing more accessible and equitable by offering tools and services that simplify and strengthen the author experience.
