Dove Medical Press
The Charlesworth Group has announced that Dove Medical Press has chosen to integrate its manuscript submission system into Charlesworth's WeChat Gateway platform. The use of WeChat within the scientific community in China continues to grow, and by integrating their submission system directly with Charlesworth's Gateway Dove aims to better support its China-based academic authors.
The Gateway is Charlesworth's proprietary technology platform. It acts as a hub, receiving manuscript status data via API from Dove manuscript submission system and then personalising that data and transmitting it to Dove's WeChat account. The platform's statistics provide real-time data on the number and growth of Dove Medical's WeChat followers. It also reports on followers' engagement with Dove's WeChat marketing content.
The integration allows Dove to continually engage with their authors and provide paper status notifications directly to authors' phones via the Gateway's chatbot.
ICE Publishing

The new partnership provides ICE Publishing authors with a range of language editing, figure redrawing and translation services. This arrangement ties into the existing partnership where The Charlesworth Group provides agency sales and marketing services to ICE Publishing in China.
