Access Innovations, Inc. announces the Author Submit extension module as part of their Data Harmony Version 3.9 release. Author Submit is a Data Harmony application for integration of author-selected subject metadata information into a publishing workflow during the paper submissions or upload process.

With Author Submit, each author provides subject metadata from the publisher taxonomy to accompany the item they are submitting.
