Publishing Automation System Process
PRE-PRODUCTION
PAS seamlessly manages the all the critical activities of the editorial stage. The processes streamlined at this stage include manuscript submission, screening, book costing, castoff, proposal of author contract, and editorial responsibilities including manuscript completeness and plagiarism checks.
PAS creates a portal for authors to prepare their manuscript according to publisher-specific guidelines, submit the synopsis (along with book information) or the entire prepared manuscript through their unique logins, and track the progress of their submissions online – from preliminary manuscript screening to peer review, book costing, and final approval. The transparent and streamlined pre-production process sets the foundation for a smooth and precise publication process.
PRODUCTION
During the production stages, PAS automates more than 90% of the individual journal- and book-based production workflow services for publishers from technical editing and editorial tasks to composition or page layout and author proof review tasks. This cloud-based publishing platform delivers automation of level 0 technical editing and reference structuring, and enables both non-XML- and XML-first-based automated pagination for typesetting using InDesign platform. The XML-based e-proofing system enables authors to work directly from an HTML view of the proofs, such that their corrections are automatically updated in the XML.
