What people Are Saying

"Technica is like the country you wish you had, always committed to the human above the technical, though the technical is what Jack and Arlene and their hard-working staff know and shepherd reliably, joyfully even, so your efforts in their hands will find success in the world. With Technica, you can sense the team wants your success as much as you do, not just because they take pride in their work, but because they know what it means to strive and harness the human for a greater good."

Eliot Schain
Author, The Distant Sound

“Since our organization started working with Technica one year ago, we have seen many
improvements in the process of developing and end-product of our publication. The staff's innovative approach has led us to make multiple changes that make use of available technology and new workflows that have improved our efficiency, effectiveness, and professional "face".

In addition, their work is accurate, and they are very prompt with the turn-around times. All communications with them are very personable and respectable making it a true pleasure to work with them. They have exceeded our expectations in all regards. I highly recommend Technica Editorial.”

Kate Willcutts
Editor In Chief, Support Line, a publication of the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics

"Technica Editorial has been Caxton’s strategic partner on numerous publications. Working with Jack and his team is like having my own in-house editorial department and I can’t imagine working with anyone else."

Tim Dempsey
Publisher, Caxton Busines and Legal, Inc

"Technica provides world-class technical support and publishing for Cost Management. Their technical support provides an inviting environment for both new and seasoned authors to contribute their work to advance the profession. Their publication support allows for readers to easily understand articles from a general to technical level. This has led to their highly regarded professionalism and integrity throughout the industry. We have seen the positive results of using Technica to broaden our base membership through increased demand at professional conferences and in business social media postings.

“For the past 8 years, Technica Editorial provides professional, personalized service to me and other editors at AMI. Their staff is always prompt, responsive, courteous, and service-oriented – both to journal editors and to authors. Although we are virtually always working together remotely, at different times and often spanning vastly different time zones, the communication between the Technica Editorial team and me has been amazingly clear, seamless, and thoughtful. I could not ask for better support for my editorial work.”

Ellen Fisher
Executive Editor, ACS Applies Materials & Interfaces

“Technica Editorial has offered the MRS publications program the opportunity to pursue a broader reach of strategic direction by acting as the “front line” with journal authors and editors. Their competent and timely coordination of workflows is greatly appreciated by our journal editors. They deliver excellent value in being able to evaluate statistics and compliance to answer questions of journal performance. The Technica team have become that extra staff position that is always wished for in the hectic editorial calendar.”

Ellen Kracht
MRS Publications Manager

“Technica Editorial is second to none. I juggle my role as assistant editor with being a professor and graduate program director. It is fair to say that things have a propensity for chaos. My editorial assistant holds everything together. Thanks to him, I am able to be responsive to authors and other editors even when I am traveling, juggling deadlines, or at conferences. He does all of this with a patience and kindness that makes the work far more fun.”

Erin Lavik
Associate Editor, Bioconjugate Chemistry

“Technica Editorial Services took over management of our peer review system less than a year ago, and I am beyond satisfied with the level and quality of work. Tracey Glazener, who handles our journal, has been fantastic to work with. We have a lot of quirks to our processes, with some steps that aren’t easily integrated into the tracking system, but Tracey keeps track of those quirks to ensure that all of our users, from our editor in chief to our authors, have a positive experience. With Technica Editorial Services, I know our peer review system is in great hands, allowing me and the rest of my in-house team to focus on producing our journal.”
