Digital Strategy

The effective benefits of eprints include the traditional advantages of digital content - the ability to search, share, and archive, in addition to the utilization of various metrics detailing access, usage, and other critical statistics. Furthermore, eprints are available for immediate dissemination after their initial publication, an innate advantage over printed content.

Today’s reality is in stark contrast to pre- Covid-19 days in many ways. Prior to the pandemic, the pharma-HCP relationship was anchored by face-to-face interactions. The pandemic hamstrung those interactions and accelerated remote detailing efforts, necessitating the need for need for digital content access in lieu of print.

We expect digital demand to continue strengthening in this capacity. Reprint Nexus embraces this shift and fully supports efforts by publishers to offer new and innovative products for accessing their digital content.

What are digital eprints?

Quite simply, eprints are the digital version of an article reprint. Eprints are most often hosted through 3rd parties, encrypted to a finite number of purchased views and duration term and print/download capabilities, and provided to customers via URL. PDFs are also available for specific use cases.

Reprint Nexus can often aggregate volume across markets to reduce unit costs, provide separate links to different markets, and coordinate activation dates to align with market approval schedules. Furthermore, we supply monthly and on-demand reports highlighting usage details when available.
