More submissions and subscriptions for academic journal publishers
Every research group hunting for the right venue, every library negotiating renewals, and every department chair under pressure to publish is a relationship you want, but the principal investigator or acquisitions librarian has never heard from your editorial team. Your buyers and authors are professors, research directors and library leads, all reachable on LinkedIn. Find them, send a message that respects their field and their work, and grow submissions and institutional subscriptions, free to start.

“We launched a strong open-access title but sat empty waiting for organic submissions that trickled in. Now I pull principal investigators and department chairs in our exact field myself, reference the recent paper that fits our scope, and the AI writes a respectful, on-topic invitation. Submissions tripled in a quarter and two libraries signed institutional deals.”
