Medwave and Kriyadocs: A technology-based workflow for bilingualism from submission to publication for a medical journal, Ravi Venkataramani, CEO, Kriyadocs; Dr. Vivienne C. Bachelet, Founder and Editor-in-Chief, Medwave

Medwave, a bilingual, peer-reviewed, open access biomedical and public health journal, and Kriyadocs, an ecosystem for scholarly publishers that manages publishing workflows end-to-end, collaborated to design a fully bilingual peer review and production platform that enables the simultaneous publication of Spanish and translated English articles. This collaboration streamlines the publication process and ensures consistency throughout the production of articles, making medical research accessible to a broader audience. Additionally, this partnership promotes cross-cultural exchange and understanding within the scientific community by providing a comprehensive platform for Spanish and English-language publications. The bilingual workflow model also serves as a blueprint for future endeavors in multilingual publishing, paving the way for more accessible, collaborative, and culturally diverse scientific communities.

Dr. Vivienne C. Bachelet, MD, MSc, is an Associate Professor at the School of Medicine of the University of Santiago de Chile (USACH), where she chairs the Evidence-Based Medicine unit. She is a member of the Colegio Médico de Chile, the Asociación de Economía de la Salud de Chile, and the World Association of Medical Editors (WAME). Dr. Bachelet established Medwave, a bilingual, peer-reviewed, open access biomedical and public health journal, in 2000 and serves as its Editor-in-Chief. Medwave was founded with the ambition of closing the gap in continuing medical education in Chile by providing resources to the Spanish-speaking community of clinicians, researchers, and academics.
