How Index is changing the game for health science journals
Hi! I’m César, and I work on the marketing team at Index. Today I want to tell you a little about us: who we are, what we do and how we are transforming the way scholarly journals handle their editorial processes. If you don’t know us yet, stay with me for a moment. I’m sure this can make your life much easier.
Did you know that 40% of the time at a scholarly journal goes on manual tasks?
That’s right. Processing manuscripts, sending review emails, formatting files… it all adds up! At Index, we turn those lost hours into productive time and quality results. We are software designed specifically to manage and produce scholarly journals, helping editors and authors focus on what really matters: researching and publishing high-level content.
A solution born from experience
It all started with a frustration you probably know well: spending endless hours on administrative tasks that, while necessary, do not directly contribute to a journal’s impact.
That is how Indexwas born: a platform that covers the whole editorial cycle, from receiving articles to indexing. Best of all, it not only speeds up the process, it is also incredibly easy to use. And thanks to feedback from the editorial teams already working with us, Index keeps improving every day.
Does it work? More than 50 journals in 7 countries already trust us
So far, more than 50 scholarly journals across 7 countries have chosen Index to transform their processes. We work with renowned universities and major medical societies, such as the Spanish Society of Pulmonology (SEPAR) and the Mexican Society of Gynaecology and Obstetrics.
And the results speak for themselves:
“We have cut the average time from acceptance to publication by 35%, and author complaints about delays have almost disappeared.”
Testimonials like this motivate us to keep helping scholarly journals focus on what really matters.
