Our approach
Built around consistency, accuracy and accountability
Production quality depends on process. Our workflow is designed so that every article in an issue meets the same standard, whoever handles it.
Single-source workflow
One XML master produces every output, so PDF, HTML and metadata always match.
Journal style specifications
A documented specification for each title covers layout, references, tables and figures.
Two-stage quality control
Independent checks at typesetting and at final delivery catch errors before authors or readers do.
Dedicated production contact
Each journal works with a named coordinator who tracks schedules and answers queries.
Production process
From accepted manuscript to published article
Our work begins once the journal has accepted an article, and ends when final files and metadata are delivered back to the journal.
Intake & pre-flight
Files received from the journal and checked for completeness.
Copyedit & XML
Copyediting and conversion to structured XML.
Typesetting
Pages composed in the journal template; first proof issued.
Author corrections
Proof corrections collated and applied.
Final QC
All outputs validated against the specification.
Delivery
Final files returned and metadata deposited.
