![]() Their work is even more consequential for papers written by authors whose first language isn’t English. Together these teams of experienced copy editors work through approximately 6,500 articles every year, forming a significant part of the work delivery to the authors who publish with us. Karger’s in-house editorial team as well as a dedicated team at TNQ work across Karger’s 105 journals to ensure just that. Karger uses innovative automation tools to make the process of copy editing manuscripts more accurate, efficient, and scalable.Ī good research paper takes hard work, dedication, collaboration, systematic study, and collation and reporting of findings – and a high-quality research paper deserves to be read by the world without errors and inconsistencies, in a clean and well-formatted presentation.Ĭopy editing is a critical and substantial component of the post-acceptance publishing process that ensures research papers are produced to the highest standards. Innovation through Automation: Copy Editing Tools As stated in the first contribution to this mini-series, “A Book Is a Book Is a Book – or Is It?” by Joachim Flickinger, “…the use – and thus the existence – of one format or the other is directly related to both the type of content and the form of use.” With the XML-first workflow, (individual) products can and will be published in exactly the formats that best suit the wants and needs of our customers. Not least, the final output of this process – a very granular XML – can be used as a basis for many publishing formats and distribution forms, such as HTML, EPUB, PDF, and print. Switching to XML-first enhances our efficiency, creates an improved author experience, and achieves a significantly quicker turnaround time. We are doing away with working on unstructured manuscripts for copyediting and author proofing in our books. The structural integrity of the XML is maintained throughout the process, and it remains hidden underneath the surface. ![]() All processes including multiple levels of copyediting, structuring, author proofing all happen in a Word/HTML programme, but on top of the underlying XML. Our publishing technologies partner – TNQ Technologies – receives the original content data for processing and creates a standard structure (unified Document Type Definition (DTD) is a catch-all for all elements of a manuscript) around it that can be read by all tools. This means we are using XML through the whole process and not just at the end. To solve those challenges, we have created an XML-first workflow for all of our journals and are now working on setting up an XML-first workflow for books as well. ![]() How XML Revolutionizes the Production Workflow This means that the workflow ends up creating individual competence areas and there is a lack of consistency across various stages.
