Recording of an EIFL webinar (53 minutes) discussing experiences of optimizing journal processes and workflows. 

Guest speaker Tesfaye Gebeyehu from Jimma University in Ethiopia speaks about enhanced initial manuscript screening procedures for the university’s journals, and how managing and language editors and an assistant have helped to reduce editorial bottlenecks and strengthen coordination among editors, reviewers, and authors. 

Milica Ševkušić, EIFL Open Access Programme, presents two EIFL guides: Editorial Workflows in Diamond Open Access Journals and Tips for Assigning Digital Object Identifiers (DOIs) to Journal Articles.
