Publish With Us

The past few years have seen exciting changes to the Wolters Kluwer Health | Lippincott Williams & Wilkins (WKH | LWW) journals publishing programme - changes that benefit our society partners. Is your journal receiving the services and recognition it deserves?

WKH | LWW has a substantial history of providing exceptional publishing services that successfully advance the goals of our society partners. Our combined experience will be a powerful tool to further your society’s mission in the coming years. We would be delighted to extend our publishing and business competencies to assist you in expanding the reach and recognition of your journal in a rapidly changing scholarly publishing environment. Our key features and goals would be as follows:

Communication. Communication is the cornerstone of our publishing partnerships, providing the opportunity for strategic planning, new business development, discussion of co-marketing ideas, and creative problem-solving.

Customer-focused market research. WKH | LWW will extend our market research capabilities to your society to assist in identifying possible areas for journal expansion and development and to explore authors’ and subscribers attitudes and opinions towards your journal. All findings will be analysed by our research team, with recommendations presented to the Society, Editors-in-Chief, and others as deemed appropriate.

New electronic journals platform. Your journal would be included on our new electronic journals platform for individual member and non-member subscribers. The feature rich sites — the result of extensive customer research — allow for advanced searching and linking and for the addition of supplemental digital content to enrich the user experience and provide added value to Journal subscriptions and Society membership. For example, users can create their own collections of favourite articles, figures or videos, while editors can select which articles should be featured on the journal homepage, manage blogs and poll readers for opinions on hot topics.

Worldwide institutional reach. OvidSP — our electronic platform for institutional subscriptions — allows users around the world to access the content of our society and proprietary journals. With offices around the world, Ovid offers international market penetration that is unmatched among electronic content delivery providers. Journals achieve exposure through individual title sales and through inclusion in the valued WKH | LWW journal packages. Exposure of content from your journal on Ovid will provide increased opportunities for citations and widespread awareness of the ground-breaking work that you publish.

Marketing and sales. The Society would benefit from WKH | LWW’s excellent programme of print, online, and person-to-person marketing, with the goal of maximising print and online subscription revenue and increasing market share.

Improved financial return to the society. The combination of our journal development and customer insight tactics, our superior online content offerings, our exceptional sales teams and our flexible financial agreements could result in a higher return to the society.
