MDPI's Online Proofreading platform lets external authors and MDPI staff finalise articles together in one system, replacing the email back-and-forth of traditional proofreading. In use across several MDPI journals.
Benefits & outcomes
Days of email round-trips replaced with simultaneous editing.
Notes & quotes
Tracy (Yue) Wu, IT Department Manager, on the impulse behind it: "simplifying the proofreading process" — during offline proofing, "emails are generally sent back and forth with authors to figure out which part in the article needs to be edited, and sometimes it takes days for a reply."
