Our advanced workflow automatically identifies the publication category, whether it is a journal, a book, or a conference paper, and automatically converts all your data from MS Word and LaTeX to the highly flexible format of XML. Furthermore, our in-house XML validator ensures that the XML files are valid post-conversion, and wherever a DOI has been provided, the system also automatically fixes incomplete references. As our team is armed with an arsenal of tools and the plenty of experience, the conversion process is rapid, accurate, and cost-effective.

Composition

Our composition team skillfully arranges the artwork in such a manner that the pages are presentable, appealing, and easy to read, thus helping you better monetize your content. Skilled and experienced at balancing visual elements along with text, our team ensures neat page layouts and precise pagination. Each page is perfectly crafted in accordance with best industry practices and your guidelines, and for accurate pagination, we use the industry-standard software in the market such as InDesign, 3B2, LaTeX, QuarkXPress, and Adobe FrameMaker. Before the deliverables are sent to you for review, we perform one more final check to ensure the best possible quality.

We deliver composition services through a combination of advanced technology and work of professionals with highest expertise. We specialize in a variety of composition engines, depending on the content of the publication, including:

• Arbortext APP (3B2)
• Adobe InDesign
• LaTeX
• QuarkXPress

Quality Control

Content that is rife with basic typesetting slip-ups such as crowded letters and lines, text-heavy pages, widows, orphans, and mismatched fonts, will have a negative impact on readability and just does not look right. To ensure well-designed and error-free content, our team carefully inspects each page to check and rectify any minor mistakes. After this final QC check and a proofreading check for grammatical errors, your book or journal will be delivered to you in a ready-to-publish format.

Proofreading

An indispensable part of the publishing process, proofreading ensures style and usage consistency in the copy, as per your guidelines. Hawk-eyed and trained to pay attention to detail, our expert proofreaders quickly spot and rectify errors in various areas, such as:

• Styling of headings, lists, and other elements
• Layout (design and page measures)
• Equation alignment
• Floats such as tables, figures, boxes, and schemes
• Consistency in references, math variables, and more

Author Proofing System

Most publishers employ PDF-based proofing in which authors and editors mark up PDFs delivered to them as a proof, and then the typesetter creates a new PDF with all the corrections made to the source file. This method is time-consuming and inefficient as a lot of back-and-forth goes on between authors and the editorial team, especially when several clarifications are required, thus causing a significant delay in the publishing cycle. Moreover, the manual intervention in PDF proofing could lead to errors due to misinterpretation of ambiguous corrections.

To shorten the production cycle and mitigate errors, Transforma's efficient cloud-based solution is based on XML and HTML5 technology, which gives authors worldwide online access to proofs via any browser and device. As a secure collaborative system, our user-friendly author proofing solution features a dashboard for seamless navigation and easy access to all the collated proofs.

Indexing

At Transforma, our team of professional indexers offer taxonomy-driven content indexing to ensure that your content is easy to discover, view, search, and access in conformance with keywords and terms used in your field. We help you to continue beeing an authoritative and reliable source of information to a wide audience by creating a well-designed and hyperlinked index in a database recognized in your field. Our experts build and maintain a deep taxonomy by analyzing your content, classifying core topics and sub-topics based on their significance, link related topics, and organize the entries with clear sub-headings and cross references.

We also make sophisticated use of natural language processing (NLP) and machine learning algorithms to automate and streamline the process, increase efficiency, reduce the risk of human errors, and ensure the consistent tagging of new content. Once your content is easy to find, highly visible, and organized, it will help you reach a larger reader base and eventually, lead to an increase in your ROI.
