should you submit your manuscript to Dove Medical Press? Choosing the right publisher can make a vital difference to your experience of the publication process. At Dove, we pride ourselves on our dedicated and experienced team who provide prompt and effective support at each stage of the process, from submission through the peer-review and editorial processes, to the post-publication monitoring of your paper’s metrics and performance.</p> <ul style="list-style-type: undefined;"> <li><span style="color: #555555; font-size: 0.875em;">With our commitment to the <a href="../../../why-publish-with-dove-press/open-access/" target="_blank">open-access movement</a>, Dove will make your paper freely available to the widest possible readership, without requiring access to a paywall for readers who wish to explore your research.</span></li> <li><span style="color: #555555; font-size: 0.875em;">Our team will help you identify which of </span><a style="background-color: initial; font-size: 0.875em;" href="../../../browse_journals.php" target="_blank">our journals</a><span style="color: #555555; font-size: 0.875em;"> is right for your paper. Rather than reject the paper outright if your target journal is not the right fit, our expert staff will determine if another journal may be suitable and arrange for transfer.</span></li> <li><span style="color: #555555; font-size: 0.875em;">At </span><a style="background-color: initial; font-size: 0.875em;" href="../../../author-guidelines/submission-status" target="_blank">each stage</a><span style="color: #555555; font-size: 0.875em;"> of the review and editorial processes, your paper will be assigned a dedicated team member (yes, a human!) who will update you on your paper’s progress and guide you through our procedures.</span></li> <li><span style="color: #555555; font-size: 0.875em;">You are welcome to use our Live Help service function to get in touch with any questions you have, or use the links on your author interface to contact the team member in charge of your paper.</span></li> <li><span style="color: #555555; font-size: 0.875em;">The time from submission to a decision being made on a paper can, in many journals, take some months and this is very frustrating for authors. We have one of the fastest turnaround times of any medical publisher. </span></li> <li><span style="color: #555555; font-size: 0.875em;">Although peer review is rapid it is also very thorough. Many authors have found that our peer reviewers' comments substantially add to their final papers.</span></li> <li><span style="color: #555555; font-size: 0.875em;">Once your published paper is available on Dove’s website, you and your readers can keep up to date with the paper’s performance in the research community by viewing the paper’s metrics, continually updated on our site – click </span><a style="background-color: initial; font-size: 0.875em;" href="../../../article_metric.php?article_id=71452" target="_blank">here</a><span style="color: #555555; font-size: 0.875em;"> for an example.</span></li> <li><span style="color: #555555; font-size: 0.875em;">The advantages of being an open access, online-only publisher are numerous, but in essence allow us a greater flexibility and responsiveness to authors and readers that older journals cannot match. We often receive feedback from authors amazed at how prompt, professional yet friendly all their communication was with us, throughout the publishing process.</span></li> </ul> <p>Don’t take our word for it! We invite you to visit <a href="../../../why-publish-with-dove-press/testimonials" target="_blank">our website</a> or Google reviews to read about our published authors’ experience of our dedicated and supportive team in their own words.</p> <p class="text-right last-updated-on">Updated 15 August 2023</p> </div> <!-- /end copy --> </div> <!-- /end articles --> </div> <!-- /end tab-content --></div></div> </div> <!-- /end main --> </div> <!-- /end grid --> </div> <!-- /end grid_bg --> <div class="footer-nav-bg group"> <div class="footer-nav group"> <div class="footer-desktop-nav"> <p> <a href="contact">Contact Us</a> <span>•</span> <a href="https://www.informa.com/privacy-policy/" target="_blank">Privacy Policy</a> <span>•</span> <a href="partners.php">Associations & Partners</a> <span>•</span> <a href="why-publish-with-dove-press/testimonials">Testimonials</a> <span>•</span> <a href="terms.php">Terms & Conditions</a> <span>•</span> <a href="#" class="recommend-site">Recommend this site</a> <span>•</span> <a href="cookies.php">Cookies</a> <span>•</span> <a href="#page-top">Top</a> </p> </div> <div class="footer-mobile-nav"> <p><a href="contact">Contact Us</a> <span>•</span> <a href="privacy.php">Privacy Policy</a></p> </div> </div> <!-- /end footer-nav --> </div> <!-- /end footer-nav-bg --> <footer role="contentinfo" class="footer_bg group"> <div class="footer group"> <p> <strong>© Copyright 2025</strong> <span>•</span> <strong>Dove Medical Press Ltd</strong> <span>•</span> <a title="software development and php programming" href="https://phplab.nz/">php coding</a> by phplab.nz <span>•</span> Web Design by <a href="https://www.adhesion.co.nz" title="Adhesion Website Design">Adhesion</a> </p> <p class="small">The opinions expressed in all articles published here are those of the specific author(s), and do not necessarily reflect the views of Dove Medical Press Ltd or any of its employees.</p> <p class="small">Dove Medical Press is part of Taylor & Francis Group, the Academic Publishing Division of Informa PLC <br /> Copyright 2025 Informa PLC.
