Publication Approval System
Take control of how publications are approved by stakeholders in your organisation and minimise the risk of publishing a research paper with errors.
How does your organisation currently approve research papers for publication? Can you be sure all the relevant stakeholders have participated in the review process?
Your organisation could be severely embarrassed in the science community without a comprehensive and consistent approach to the publication approval process.
That's where PAWS from Lingo Systems can help. PAWS is the Publication Approval Workflow System that enforces a consistent review process and governance model to the publications published by your organisation.
Using a web-browser, staff located at any campus can register a new document that requires approval and based on the document type a workflow or approval process is automatically commenced.
Whether you are publishing in a journal, a newspaper or a conference poster, PAWS can help you take control of the approval process. Just one incident could result in:
- Inadvertent release of intellectual property, invalidating patent applications
- Embarrassment or legal liability
- Loss of status and reputation in the science community
- Difficulty in retaining and attracting staff
PAWS is ideal for:
- Research papers
- Journal papers
- Books or book chapters
- Collaborative works
- Conference papers, posters
- Travel plans
