More than just a hosting platform
	Working with Stanford's HighWire Press® is different from working with other online hosting platforms. We are as unique as our publishing partners. Our focus is on the success of your organization. As a non-profit division of a highly ranked research university, we do not have commercial objectives that compete with your own editorial and business goals.
	Part of the Scholarly Community
	You will have the opportunity to leverage the collective experiences, experiments and intellect of the leading society publishers. HighWire Press® is host to 76 of the top 200 "most-frequently cited journals", according to the Institute of Scientific Information [ http://www.isinet.com/isi].) The HighWire Press® Publishers' Forum gives colleagues working with HighWire an opportunity to openly discuss ideas and to share information in a secure, moderated environment. In addition, our twice-yearly Publishers' Meetings are two-to-three day, fast-paced, invitational gatherings where the difficult and breaking issues of the online publishing environment are vetted. At these meetings, much like society conferences, peers share with peers their successes and travails, and brainstorm together for the collective good.
	Institutional Support Services
	A dedicated team supports the efforts of your in-house sales and marketing staff. As high-profile members of the research library community, we have a solid understanding of your institutional subscribers' wants and needs. We help negotiate multi-publisher consortia and corporate sales; encourage activation of online journals; assist librarians in managing their subscriptions; coordinate a Library Advisory Group; provide a presence, a voice, and an ear in the library marketplace; and offer intelligence reports, feedback and advice for publishers from the librarian perspective.
	Reader Support
	HighWire spends considerable time doing outreach, follow-up, market analysis, and problem diagnosis and repairs with individual readers. This research is one of the most important ways to determine whether the site is effective and to build a loyal, enthusiastic and delighted base of frequent readers. Most end-user support is via email, with response time typically within hours, and nearly always by close of the next business day.
