PRE-EDITING
We provide pre-editing services for clients who copyedit
their content in-house. We format raw manuscripts by removing obvious
formatting errors and other inconsistencies.
We use sets of customized rules to format references,
cross-reference citations, equations, tables, and figures; mark items not cited
in the text; and then raise queries to copyeditors on concerns that need
further analysis.
Our strengths are our knowledgeable staff and their ability
to deliver quality and punctual services. Our custom project management skills
enable us to congregate your business needs with high precision. We are
flexible in our approach and focused on mutual success.
This saves time for the publishers’ copyeditors, enabling
them to focus on style or other more specific, value-added edits.
COPYEDITING
We offer copyediting services for a variety of academic
monographs, college textbooks, professional titles, major reference works, and
journals. The editorial requirements of our current clients range from
electronic tagging and copy preparation to full language editing in the case of
authors whose first language is not English. To cater to these requirements, we
provide pre-editing services and standard levels of copyediting.
For a standard level of edit, our copy editors follow
standard editorial guidelines specified by the publisher to ensure that
Spelling, hyphenation, capitalization, punctuation, and
grammar are correct, consistent, and appropriate for the intended readership;
A consistent editorial style and tone is maintained
throughout the text;
Text is revised, where necessary, to clarify the author’s
intended meaning, in harmony with the author’s own writing style;
Discrepancies, errors, ambiguities, irrelevancies, etc., in
content and structure are rectified;
Editorial queries with the author or publisher, where
necessary, are raised and resolved; and
Content requiring legal opinion (libel, plagiarism,
blasphemy, etc.) or copyright clearance is identified and brought to the
attention of the author or publisher.
PROOFREADING
As a final step, our professional proofreaders review
information products, from online publications to printed materials, before
they are distributed to customers. Using the same guidelines that we use for
copy editing manuscripts, we carefully proof next-to-final copy, ensuring that
the content is accurate.
