Description

Welcome to Becker Associates' first newsletter. You are receiving this newsletter because of your present or past relationship with our company. Our intention is to send out a newsletter periodically to keep you abreast of information that is relevant to your association. We hope that you enjoy it. As a company, we are undergoing a number changes since Gwenne's retirement at the end of 2008. Adam Becker became President in January 2009 and with Christina's support and assistance, has been running the company. With new leadership and direction, we are redefining what we do and how we are doing it. We have since defined ourselves as an association management company offering an extensive range of services to the not-for-profit sector including publication, consulting, and management services. And we are launching new services including Open Journal System which is talked about below and strategic planning facilitation. In this newsletter, we feature articles on: Open Journal Systems HST Harmonized Sales Tax Living above the Line As many companies serving the academic and scholarly journal market know, the advance of new technologies and the shift in focus of SSHRC brought about technological solutions to enhance the administration of journal production and dissemination of scholarly research. Becker Associates now offers Open Journal Systems hosting, an open source platform. It was developed by the Public Knowledge Project at Simon Fraser University, and helps in the editorial management of journals. This platform is a complete end-to-end system for journal management, taking submissions online and allowing editorial managers, editors, copy-editors and typesetters to all manage peer review, versions, correspondence and tracking in one central place. As some of our clients already know, this is not the ideal platform for an association presence, but the two systems can be bridged to provide an editorial management back-end, and a published front-end integrated into your web presence in another content management system. We can also offer your journal an English and French sub domain within our domain www.academicjournals.ca and www.revuessavantes.ca such as intersections.academicjournals.ca. We are currently developing this for Urban History Review, and the Canadian Journal of Development Studies.
