We help turn your good book into a great book through workflow-driven, collaborative, and comprehensive copyediting services. We prioritize retaining the author’s voice and understanding the context through direct interactions with authors. Machine learning-driven examination of the text for flow, grammar, errors, repetitions, style mismatch, or other inconsistencies ensures a fine copy. The checks provided include:

• Spelling, including UK and US English
• Grammar, including rephrasing sentences
• References and footnotes for the style of the publishing, technical accuracy, and placement of citations
• Appropriate and consistent captioning for figures and tables
• Mathematical equations for subscripts, superscripts, exponents, and symbols

We manage the end-to-end production of books and journals for print and digital media (multiple online and mobile formats). We partner with authors and publishers and take complete ownership to ensure that their raw manuscripts are turned into finely-polished, ready-for-publication content. Our comprehensive project management services cover:

• • Analyzing and understanding the needs of publishers
  • Working together with publishers, editors, and proofreaders
  • Interacting directly with authors for query resolutions, seeking
  • copyright permissions for material (figures, tables, text) being reproduced from other published sources), etc.
  • Managing all stages of the publication’s digital content production

lifecycle, from copyediting, proofreading, typesetting, and the consolidation of revisions received from authors, editors, and proofreaders into a common “master proof” to the generation of the final electronic file

• Tracking, reporting, communication, schedule management, and efficient resource management

The complete project lifecycle from manuscript to the final book or journal is workflow-based (with distinct workflows for books and journals), ensuring efficient turnaround time and cost-effectiveness.

Alternative text, or “alt text”, is a brief written description of an image that helps screen-reading tools describe the image to users. Alt text is also used in place of an image on a webpage if it fails to load on a user’s screen. It also has the added benefit of allowing search engines to better parse and rank a website in search results.

In cases where complex images are used, a more descriptive text called a “long description” is needed to better describe the content in the image. Complex images typically tend to contain information that cannot be conveyed in a short paragraph or phrase.

Making images accessible with alt text and long descriptions benefits a variety of users, including those with vision and cognitive impairments, a slow connection, or those who are unable to focus on a screen because they are engaged in an activity like driving.
We create alt text and long descriptions for a variety of images, including logos, photos, unnumbered and numbered figures, and more.

Visual abstracts help readers quickly glean the core message of an article. Designed to be simple and visually appealing, these tools help widen access to research audiences across disciplines and beyond the scholarly community. Furthermore, as visual abstracts are much faster to consume than textual content, they enable readers to consume more research in a shorter frame of time.

We provide visual abstract design services for journal publishers. We follow a set of best-practice guidelines while designing visual abstracts. These guidelines enable the generation of consistent, high quality outputs. We are well-versed in tools such as Microsoft Excel and Tableau as well as R programming.

Our typesetting and page composition services are based on an XML-first workflow that preserves the integrity of the XML file throughout the various stages of the production cycle, ensuring that the XML file is compliant with the publisher’s DTD at any stage. This means that the XML can be generated on demand.

Our end-to-end page composition services catering to books and STM journals range from simple text pages to those containing complex mathematical equations, single column to multi-column, and single-colored to multi-colored presentations. We are well-versed in 3B2, InDesign, LaTeX, QuarkXPress, and XSL-FO.

We can convert any composite material, such as equations and tables, from any page composition software (such as HTML, Adobe InDesign, QuarkXpress, MS Word) or even hard copies to XML, HTML, MS Word, PDF, and ebook formats (PDF, ePUB, Mobipocket, KF8, Nook, etc.).

Our innovative, systematic, and best-practice-based data capture, archival imaging, metadata creation, DTD/Schema development to XML transformation mean our data conversion services are of high standards and delivered on time while meeting all your unique requirements.

We provide ebook conversion, DTBook conversion – Digital Accessible Information System (DAISY) and National Instructional Materials Accessibility Standard (NIMAS), XML Conversion, PubMed Conversion Services, and more. This includes enhanced ePub conversions with reflow of text as well as audio- and video-enabled, HTML5-based interactive eBooks.

We process figures and illustrations and redraw artwork based on a rough sketch provided by the author. Our team has extensive experience in graphics software, including Adobe Photoshop, Adobe Illustrator, and CorelDRAW. We also handle color scanning and color correction.

Our illustrations and artwork services include Situational illustrations, Technical and Medical illustrations, and Illustrations for children’s, fiction, and non-fiction books.

We have a team of professional designers in all capacities with extensive experience in Adobe Photoshop, Adobe Illustrator, Adobe InDesign, CorelDRAW, and QuarkXPress who can render artwork and designs to meet the bespoke requirements of a range of clients, from conventional STM/Academic publishers to publishers of school books/children’s books/educational material, etc.

Our Design services portfolio includes Graphic Design covering books, covers (CD or magazine covers), infographics and marketing collateral; and Multimedia Design (HTML5-based interactive e-books, audio and video editing, voiceovers to scripts, 2D/3D graphics creation, and animation).
