Publishing Services

Publishing operations depend on more than the publication of individual articles or books. Publishers need technology environments that support the operational activities surrounding content, metadata, platforms and digital delivery.

GEST provides a technology-focused approach to publishing services, with attention to platform configuration, migration, maintenance and workflow requirements.

Publishing environments may change as organisations expand their journals, introduce new publications or move between technology environments. Controlled technical planning can help reduce unnecessary disruption during these changes.

Technical publishing support is most effective when it is connected to the broader publishing workflow. Platform operations, metadata, identifiers and content processes can therefore be considered as parts of one infrastructure.
