At PA Editorial, we are committed to supporting your journal every step of the way.
Introducing our EDiTech Service, the elementary service level designed to streamline and enhance your journal's workflow. This service is predominantly provided by our dedicated offshore editorial associates, ensuring efficiency and cost-effectiveness.
Our Approach to Offshore Delivery
We combine onshore management and oversight with the flexibility of offshore resource, offering a balanced alternative to fully offshore vendors. This approach ensures that all work is guided by experienced, onshore managers who understand client expectations, quality standards, and communication requirements, while leveraging offshore support to provide scalability and efficiency.
Importantly, this model removes the need for publishers to directly recruit, manage, and oversee offshore suppliers, we take on this responsibility in-house, providing a single, accountable point of contact.
Unlike fully offshore models, where cost efficiencies are maximised but can come with challenges around consistency, quality, communication, and oversight, our model prioritises quality, accountability, and client alignment. The onshore layer provides active management, training, and quality control, ensuring outputs meet agreed standards and that issues are proactively identified and resolved by us.
As a result, while this model may not be able to compete purely on price with fully offshore providers, it offers greater reliability, transparency, and partnership, reducing risk and delivering more consistent outcomes.
By fully managing the offshore service on your behalf, we save valuable in-house resource, removing the need for direct oversight of offshore teams.
