Read our white paper: Outsourcing Editorial Services... Seven Tips for Reducing Costs and Improving Quality
Expertise in Numbers
When a major scientific publisher decided that it needed to devote more resources to developing new content to support the launch of new publications, it outsourced copy-editing functions to Innodata Isogen.
We deployed a team of subject matter experts with advanced degrees in fields such as plasma, chemical and applied physics. Their specialized training enables them to understand the technical material in manuscript form, which they review for grammar, spelling, technical inconsistencies or other errors.
Outsourcing this task generated significant savings for the publisher and also gave them greater flexibility with ongoing publishing activities.
For close to 20 years, Innodata Isogen has provided targeted editorial and content enhancement services that enable publishers to not only cut costs, but also launch new content products or repurpose content to generate additional revenue streams.
Increase Output, Reduce Costs
By integrating our editorial specialists into their workflow, publishers and other information services providers have been able to reduce costs — in some cases, by as much as 70%.
We provide a comprehensive portfolio of editorial services — from abstracting and indexing to copy-editing and research. And we ensure that we will meet your standards for quality by employing a talented and deep staff of hundreds of Subject Matter Experts (SMEs) with advanced degrees in science, medicine, finance, law, accounting and other disciplines.
For example, we helped a leading publisher of scientific and medical journals and magazines create an indexing system for a virtual library covering 17,000 publications. In the first year alone, we helped the publisher cut its indexing costs in half, reducing the time needed to review, index and post new information from three weeks to seven days.
We follow procedures of equal caliber. Our painstaking approach clearly plots each phase of the editorial process, including these critical elements:
Knowledge Transfer - a documented set of rigorous guidelines and protocols ensure the smooth transition of all outsourced editorial processes and responsibilities.
Standards and Style Documentation - a structured discovery and definition phase yields documented editorial standards and style requirements - helping to ensure qualitative and stylistic integrity.
Quality Control - editorial quality can be subjective. Documented performance criteria — including a peer-review process with in-house staff — will help to measure success and progress at each step.
