Launching a new scientific publishing app

 

Springer Nature is one of the world’s leading publishers of peer-reviewed scientific papers. The peer-review process can be long and complex, which is why they are developing a new app to automate a paper’s journey from submission to acceptance. 

 I joined their team of designers, researchers, product managers and developers on a 6-week contract in August 2019 to write a style guide for the new submission app. When they saw the benefits of employing a dedicated UX copywriter, my contract was renewed until January 2021.

One of my first tasks was to produce a style guide for the new submission system.

A large part of my job was to write the microcopy for the new Submission System.
