Editorial Management

Editing is the art of perusing one’s work so as to remove spelling, grammar, punctuation, and formatting errors and at the same time improve overall sentence structure, leaving the core content of the work untouched. This kind of editing is vital for any document, be it a research paper, a mathematical book, a book on science or humanities, or even a novel. Our focus is on the development of editorial skill to ensure errorfree assignments.

Substantive Editing

J2ASPEN’s approach to the task of substantive editing consists of a methodological evaluation and critical analysis of the whole manuscript. Our substantive editing proficiency helps the authors in enriching and enhancing the manuscript that earned them the publishing contract.

Editorial proofreading

Our copyeditors and editorial proofreaders are a skilled set of people, who spare no efforts to transform a manuscript into a well-written prose making the author proud of his work. The copyeditors scan the text to add finesse to the written text and make sure that the manuscript is a well punctuated, precisely worded, grammatically correct and adhering to all the conventions of a to-be-published book. The proofreader has his task cutout to check the completed typeset pages, a specimen of the to-bepublished product, for sense, typographical errors, page numbers, heading and sub-heading placements, all errors that could sprout at the production stage and all other aspects of printing conventions to ensure a an excellent finished printed product.

Indexing

Our indexers use specialized software that helps them automate the more mechanical aspects of indexing such as sorting index entries, enabling them to focus on the intellectual task of analyzing the text. Our indexes will greatly add value to your books and subsequently increase sales. We provide various types of services in indexing as listed hereunder.

An index is an alphabetical arrangement of words and phrases, designed to help readers find information accurately and efficiently. Unlike the table of contents (which gives the reader a general overview of the book), the index provides an instant link to specific terms, concepts, and elements.

Journal Selection for MEDLINE® Indexing at NLM

Journals must first be suitable for the NLM collection and have subject material appropriate for MEDLINE before they can be considered for review by LSTRC. Also, journals are not eligible for MEDLINE if they were recently reviewed for PMC and did not meet the PMC's scientific quality standard. The NLM Fact Sheet "MEDLINE Journal Selection" describes the role of the LSTRC and several critical elements that serve as a general guide for recommending journals to be indexed in MEDLINE. J2ASPEN will help to support pub med indexing.
