The most dominant social media app in China is WeChat with over 1.15 billion users. WeChat is a powerful tool that allows publishers to directly interact with individual Chinese academics via the WeChat app on their personal mobile devices.  

WeChat is an essential tool that allows publishers to: 

 

  • Build or improve their brand at publisher (or journal) level within the Chinese academic community
  • Attract new submissions from Chinese authors to their journals
  • Drive subscription acquisition
  • Call for editors and peer reviewers
  • Drive exisiting subscribers to download and cite articles
  • Engage directly with researchers to push usage and receive feedback on publisher content 
  • Get closer to the author and reader on an app they use as part of their daily lives

WeChat Gateway Services

 

 

 

 

WeChat Gateway is a web-based content marketing and author communication platform used for managing author communication within the STM workflow through WeChat. The Gateway has three core components which, together, create a holistic marketing and communication platform. 


Key benefits:

  • Enables non-China based publishers and scholarly societies to communicate quickly and effectively to their researcher community through China's largest social media platform
  • Web-based WeChat content management hub for marketing managers
  • Directly manage your WeChat content posts within the Gateway
  • Powerful analytic Publisher dashboard - easily available detailed data to help inform your China marketing strategy 

 

How the Gateway can work for you:

 

  • Manuscript submission system integration with your official Publisher WeChat account - by integrating your journal submission system it allows you to send unique customised paper status notifications to your authors or allows them to self-check 24/7. This integration deepens your author communication and reduces author paper queries.

 

  • WeChat marketing platform - marketers can use the Gateway content hub to directly manage and upload marketing content into the Publisher WeChat account.

 

  • Publisher Analytics Dashboard - WeChat Gateway incorporates a powerful analytics dashboard which extends and enriches the standard reports available from WeChat itself, providing in-depth data on follower behaviour, growth and content engagement.
