Articles with Provenance: Redefining Content

What Happens to My Article?

For the last five hundred years or so, before the invent of the internet, writing, art and other creative processes whose authorship was a concern to the value of the product, a detailed provenance would be demanded so that its authenticity could be ascertained. Provenance, french for 'to come from', was a document tracing a work's history. Keeping a provenance up to date helped to prevent theft, forgery and plagiarism. The internet has made tracing the life journey of a piece of work difficult, but it hasn't made it any less valuable or important to the worth of the work one purchases.

Article LifeCycle

We thought it would be an interesting exercise to help our publishers understand the route that their content takes through its creation, editing and publishing. This will give everyone a more thorough understanding of the route that our content takes towards its final publishing.

1. Article is requested by publishers, or author decides on a subject that they think will be interesting for publishers.
2. Article is written by author
3. Authors submit their articles to Constant-Content for review.
4. Article is reviewed for Grammatical, Structural and Topical quality by our editorial staff.
5. Article is then passed through iThenticate plagiarism checking to ensure that it is unique and original.
6. Once the article passes all of these checks and balances it is forwarded to the request for publisher's perusal.
7. Articles are perused with an eye to the satisfaction of the Publishers needs.
8. The chosen article is then purchased with a specific license type.
9. Depending on the license type, the article is then removed from the article pool so that no one else can purchase that article.
