Editorial & Research Services
Transstellar’s Editorial Services can help you achieve editorial excellence, so that you can stand out and succeed in your publishing goals. Our associates are prepared to communicate clearly and professionally with journal / book editors, reviewers, and authors. Our core competency is in-depth knowledge of editorial best practices and publication processes, which is critical for exceeding the expectations of customers. All contents written by our SME writers are reviewed by editors with experience in education best practices and in publishing protocols. We provide language editing services to authors of scientific documents, including journal articles, thesis and dissertations, project proposals, and other academic documents in all Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM) disciplines.
Copyediting :
We can turn your good book into a great book through workflow-driven, collaborative and comprehensive copy- editing services. This process includes converting a variety of non-standard table formats like images, Excel files, and even tabbed “pseudo-tables” to standard formats that enable consistent application of style and formatting rules, and improved XML tagging. Then, our pre-copyedit technology tools (Smart Suite and Edit Express TM) use intelligent automation to aid overall copyediting quality and speed by automating publisher and journal-specific editorial styles, citation corrections, and reference checking. The checks provided include
- Sentence construction, English word choice, clarity, parallel structure, tone, voice, redundancy
- Subject-verb agreement, article usage, spellings, tense, prepositions, pronouns and determiners adverbs and adjectives, relative clauses
- Punctuation checks such as commas, colons/semicolons, dashes, quotation marks, apostrophes
- Capitalization, American/British English
- Appropriate and consistent captioning for figures and tables
- Mathematical equations for subscripts, superscripts, exponents and symbols
Proofreading :
Proofreading is perhaps the most important step in producing a ready for publication book or journal. Transstellar’s highly proficient team ensures that this crucial check of the copyedited text produces output that is consistent, complies with the publisher’s house style and meets the highest standards. Apart from checking for typical errors in style, fonts, capitalisation, italicisation, nyphenation, correct usage of symbols (for example in equations), we also ensure consistency of typefaces and hierarchies.
Be it journal articles, books, PhD research thesis, M.Phil dissertations, or research proposals in the STM field we proofread and produce polished content.
Indexing :
Abstracts provide a short summary of an article and are indexed by various content databases. Our team of scientific writers, specializing across all STEM subjects, analyse the article diligently to compile electronic metadata comprising key attributes, such as keywords, subject indexing and categorization. We can create simple, key- word based, flat (single-level) author and subject indexes to complex, topical, multi-level indexes for content-in- tensive books or other publications that increase the value of your publication manifold.
Data Services :
Transstellar’s Data Services help publishers go digital. Backed by more than 15 years of experience, our data conversion services enable you to not only create new publication but also migrate your existing print versions to multiple digital formats.
We can be your single point of contact and can ensure successful content conversions from various data sources in any typeset format as needed by you without compromising on quality.
Typesetting :
Our typesetting and page composition services are based on XML-first workflow that preserves the integrity of the XML file throughout the various stages of the production cycle ensuring that the XML file is compliant to the publisher’s DTD at any stage, which means that the XML. can be generated literally on demand. These end-to-end page composition services catering to books and STM journals range from simple text pages to those containing complex mathematical equations; single column to multi-column and single colored to multi-col- ored presentation. We are well-versed in 3B2, InDesign, LaTeX, QuarkXPress and XSL-FO.
Data conversion :
We can convert any composite material such as equations and tables, from any page composition software (such as HTML, Adobe InDesign, QuarkXpress, MS Word) or even hard copies to XML, HTML, MS Word, PDF and ebook formats (PDF, ePUB, Mobipocket, KF8, Nook etc). Our innovative, systematic and best-practice based data capture, archival imaging, metadata creation, DTD/schema development to XML transformation means our data conversion services are of high standards, delivered on time while meeting all your unique re- quirements.

We provide e-book conversion, XML Conversion, PubMed Conversion Services and more.
Peer Review Management :
Peer Review, an independent assessment of a research paper by experts in the field, is critical for evaluating a: manuscript’s quality and suitability for publication. However, editorial departments often face challenges during the process. They are tasked to churn out high-quality reviews in short time frames and with limited bud- gets, thus hindering a seamless author/reviewer experience. Transstellar can help manage the peer review pro- cess by augmenting or owning the publishers editorial team.
End-To-End Project Management :
Transstellar’s Project Management services ensure that authors and publishers reap the benefits of our global best practices, proven technologies, skilled professionals and faster turnaround times. Editorial Project Manag- ers (EPM) work with authors to ensure the manuscript is developed according to guidelines and schedules. They act as the key point of contact for authors from when the book is contracted until it moves to production. EPMs are highly skilled and customer-focused professionals who know how to strike the right balance between author satisfaction and author deadlines. Our comprehensive project management services cover:
- Analysing and understanding the needs of publishers Working together with publishers, editors and proofreaders
- Interacting directly with authors for query resolutions, seeking copyright permissions for material (figures, tables, text) being reproduced from other published sources), etc.
- Managing all stages of the digital content production lifecycle of the scholarly publication from copyediting, proofreading, typesetting, consolidation of revisions received from authors, editors, proofreaders to a common "master proof to generation of the final electronic file
