“Rita Scheman is highly experienced in the publishing industry, having held high level positions in several leading publishing companies. I worked with her initially when she was Vice President for periodicals and multimedia in Churchill Livingstone, and subsequently when she was the publisher of The Lancet. I was greatly impressed with her ability to work well with and satisfy the editorial and publishing needs of professionals such as myself and the clinicians/scientists I recruited for our publishing venture. Her abilities reflect her long experience and expertise in journal publishing, book publishing and electronic publishing. She has had a long series of successful enterprises in these areas, and her success reflects her diligence, high intelligence, vision, and capacity to grasp the needs of the industry. I recommend her as a consultant with the highest level of enthusiasm.”
