Novamag for universities

Why Novamag for universities?

Universities tell a lot and reach few: the magazine sits in the foyer, the research report as a PDF on the website. As a digital magazine, students read it on their phones, applicants find articles in Google, the press and partners get links instead of attachments. Faculties contribute with their own accounts, university communications approves. Nova AI translates for international students and takes over the previous print magazine.

Knowledge

Digital magazines for universities: what's behind it

The most important terms, figures and workflows, gathered on one page.

Why a digital university magazine?

Students read on their phones, applicants search in Google, journalists need links. The printed magazine in the foyer and the research report as a PDF reach none of these groups well. As a digital issue, every contribution has its own URL and is responsive, shareable and indexed. Research is told with video and data, campus life with galleries.

How does the university magazine appear in two languages?

Nova AI translates content, URL routes and metadata from one original; German and English are separate issues with a language switch in the frontend. International students and partner universities read in their own language, without a second production and without a translation agency for every issue.

How do faculties deliver contributions?

Author accounts per faculty or institute let people create texts and images straight in the project. University communications checks, sets the metadata and publishes. Roles separate author, editor and admin, and the timemachine holds every state.

How do applicants and journalists find contributions?

Every page has a title, a description, a heading structure and alternative texts; a sitemap per issue tells Google about new content. AI systems quote research articles as a source. Full-text search in the frontend covers every issue, including older terms.

How do universities bring the print magazine over?

Nova AI reads the print PDF, takes over texts, images and structure, and lays them out again in the university's project styles. Older issues move into the archive. PDF export still delivers a print version for alumni, committees and events.

What does a digital university magazine cost?

Starter from 184 euros a month, Professional from 445 euros with team accounts and Tracking Premium; languages as an add-on. Printing and distribution largely fall away while reach goes up. Education terms for universities are available on request.
