Cactus Communications and De Gruyter Brill launch author services
Cactus Communications is partnering with De Gruyter Brill to offer author support services through its brand, Editage. The collaboration will offer De Gruyter Brill authors editorial, translation, publication, and research promotion services designed to reduce manuscript preparation time, increase acceptance-readiness for international journals and books, and maximise post-publication reach.
Through the partnership, Editage will provide De Gruyter Brill authors publishing in the fields of Health, Medicine, and Life Sciences with support through the research journey. Authors will have access to:
- Subject-peer copyediting, pre-submission peer review, manuscript formatting, figure/ART preparation.
- Plagiarism and source-verification reports, reporting-guideline checks, language sensitivity review for patient-facing content.
- Graphical abstracts, plain-language summaries, video abstracts, targeted promotion packages.
The partnership “reflects the shared commitment of both organisations to elevate the author experience, safeguard research integrity, and ensure that high-quality research continues to drive progress in the global research ecosystem”, say the two companies.
Nikesh Gosalia, Chief Partnership Officer, Cactus Communications, said: “Researchers in health and life sciences face unique challenges, from stringent reporting standards to the critical need for precise clinical communication. With studies showing that nearly 59% of authors struggle with manuscript writing and preparation, the need for expert support has never been clearer. By integrating domain-specialist editors, rigorous quality-control workflows, and tailored research promotion services, we aim to transform the publishing experience and ensure that high-quality science is published efficiently, reaching the audiences that matter.”
Maurits Van den Boogert, Chief Publishing Officer, De Gruyter Brill, added: “Partnering with Cactus Communications enables us to provide our growing author base in STM practical, trusted support to raise manuscript quality and expand global reach. We are excited to be able to offer this new service to our authors, helping them meet international standards and ensuring valuable findings reach clinicians, policymakers and researchers faster.”
