Pre-Editing Service. |

|
In the case of a conference whose organisers have a long-term arrangement with a publisher we can provide a range of pre-edit services.
Mayo Editorial Services can pre-format documents arriving on disk or by email to ensure that they all conform to the pre-determined format before they are sent to the publishers for desk-editing. Thus, when authors do not follow editorial directions to submit on disk or they do not use the specified word processor format we can provide a checking and conversion service to ensure a uniform final product for the publishers. Similarly, our author liaison service will ensure that a much higher proportion of authors submit their manuscripts by the deadline. If necessary we will provide ongoing gentle persuasion and reminders to authors who have not submitted manuscripts by the deadline. While editing manuscripts we also prepare detailed author queries and transmit them to the authors. These include the fine detail of manuscripts such as incomplete or missing references. Scientific details which appear to require further clarification will also be referred to the author in a standard author query sheet by e-mail where possible. Significant Advantages
Even where a well-established relationship exists between the conference organisers and a major publisher there may be significant savings and advantages in using Mayo Editorial Services. By using our desk-editing service in advance of submission to the normal publishers of the conference proceedings it may be possible to make considerable savings on the overall cost. Our services are widely used by many of the largest scientific publishers and the quality of Mayo Editorial Services' work is very highly regarded. Because of lower overheads we can provide a cheaper product at the desk-editing stage than many of the large publishers. Back |
