Case Studies

"I have worked with PA EDitorial since 2014, in that time I feel we have developed an excellent working relationship. They are responsive and helpful but also pragmatic and willing to offer sensible advice where necessary.

"We have been working with PA EDitorial since the summer of 2018, and it's a relationship we hope will go on for many more years. They work so well with us and they feel like an extension of our own internal team. They deliver on deadlines and will find ways to creatively solve problems if one is encountered. But more importantly, they try to avoid issues occurring by troubleshooting and planning contingencies ahead of time. They have worked with us to develop tightly controlled processes and ensure all members of their team are sufficiently trained on what we require. I have complete trust they will deliver a high level of service and high-quality standard of work. The team is very friendly, professional and a pleasure to work with."

"The European Journal of Finance has worked with PA Editorial for well over a decade, a period in which there have been enormous changes in journal publishing. That the journal has grown and flourished throughout that period is a testimonial to the dedication and expertise initially of Pat Anderson but in more recent years of the whole team that she has built to serve both EJF and many other journals."

"I am happy to provide positive feedback regarding the work of PA EDitorial as editorial office support on the International Review of Psychiatry. They work efficiently to ensure the smooth running of the journal, communicate with the Editors well and have a very good eye for the detail involved in producing the issues. They respond promptly to any queries and provides very good support to me as editor, especially when I have been dealing with her for a thematic issue of which I am responsible."

Professor Dinesh Bhugra

Editor, International Review of Psychiatry

"The European Review of Social Psychology uses PA Editorial to support the journal. PA Editorial provide a very efficient and capable human interface between the Chief Editors, the authors and the publisher. If we were to rely purely on web-based electronic support, the journal would be considerably less easy to manage."

Miles Hewstone and Antony Manstead

Previous Chief Editors

"As Co-Editor in Chief of the International Review of Psychiatry, I’ve had the immense pleasure of working with PA EDitorial on whom I’ve relied for the day-to-day management of the journal. They have done an excellent job in ensuring timely submission of manuscripts and their peer-review. PA EDitorial's assistance has been indispensable in managing our issues, each of which is a thematic volume (due to the nature of the Journal). They are highly professional in their interactions with our guest editors, authors, and editors; as well as extremely dependable."

"It gives me great pleasure to write this Testimonial for PA EDitorial. Third World Quarterly (TWQ) was served very well by PA Editorial for a long duration and during a critical transition period. Their experienced team monitored the entire editorial interface of the journal with a high level of meticulousness. The quality checking systems they had in place ensured that the running of TWQ met the expectations of authors and reviewers. Our Guest Editors were pleased with the comprehensive ‘Editor Training’ offered by the team. I, as Editor, was fully satisfied with their professionalism."

Shahid Qadir

"PA EDitorial have provided us with a Managing Editor for the Review of International Political Economy for over a year now and she is doing an incredible job. She smoothly coordinates our multi-stage manuscript review process, keeping track of nearly 500 submissions per year in an organized and timely manner. When reviewers and authors have concerns and questions, she is immediately on top of it. She knows ScholarOne, the manuscript management software, like the back of her hand. She is efficient, smart, proactive, professional, pleasant - in short, everything that we could hope for in a managing editor. We feel very fortunate to have her as part of our team!"
