Charlesworth Gateway Wins Silver at the 2025 SSP EPIC Awards
London, 5th June 2025 – Charlesworth, an Enago company is proud to share that its flagship solution, Charlesworth Gateway, has won Silver at the 2025 EPIC Awards, hosted by the Society for Scholarly Publishing (SSP). This recognition celebrates Gateway’s unique notification service, which helps publishers connect with authors by sending real-time manuscript updates through popular global messaging apps. It’s all about making communication easier, more accessible, and more effective for researchers around the world.
Gateway is a mobile-first solution that sends real-time manuscript status updates through popular global messaging apps, including WeChat, WhatsApp, LINE, and KakaoTalk, making it easier for authors to stay informed and involved throughout the submission process.
“This recognition is a real testament to the difference Gateway is making in scholarly communication,” said Michael Evans, CEO of Charlesworth. “By reaching authors through the messaging apps they already use, we’re helping publishers communicate more effectively, streamline workflows, and improve the author experience, especially across the Asia-Pacific region.”
As a key part of Charlesworth’s APAC strategy, Gateway is built to support the communication habits of researchers in different markets by offering:
- Instant, automated status updates on paper submissions
- Two-way messaging to help resolve queries quickly
- Smooth integration with systems like Aries Editorial Manager and in-house platforms
The Silver EPIC Award reinforces Charlesworth’s role as an innovation partner in scholarly publishing, particularly in regions where mobile messaging outpaces traditional email communication.
