Summary
I have over 10 years’ experience in both the production and editorial sides of scientific publishing, having worked as a Journal Production Manager for Cadmus Communications as well as holding editorial positions with several scientific societies before becoming a Journal Manager (JM) with Computercraft. Utilizing the skill sets obtained from these positions, I bring a unique vantage point to my position. Not only do I perform the daily duties of a JM, but I also serve as the liaison between PubMed and PMC. My attention to detail and quality control ensures that the citations on these two sites appear as a seamless unit to those using them.
