PEER REVIEW MANAGEMENT

Deliver rigorous, timely, and transparent peer review with our end-to-end Peer Review Management Services. Powered by an innovative, scalable platform and deep publishing expertise, we help accelerate decision-making while upholding the highest standards of scholarly integrity.

Managing peer review is reasonably complex as it involves numerous stakeholders, tight timelines, and uncompromising quality expectations. Lumina Datamatics streamlines this process by combining technology, editorial expertise, and structured workflows to ensure every manuscript receives a thorough, unbiased, and efficient review.

PRE-EDITING

In addition to clean-up, auto styling, and structuring, pre-editing includes meticulous reference editing and comprehensive document verification. Our high-quality pre-editing services ensure your documents are polished and error-free, ready for the next stage of production or publication.

COPYEDITING

Lumina Datamatics offers various levels of copyediting. Level 1 (ensuring compliance with journal style). Level 2 (correcting grammatical errors, spelling, and punctuation errors). Level 3 (suggesting and correcting right sentence usage)

EDITORIAL PROOFREADING

This is done at the author proof stage. This includes validating links, checking table format, artwork captioning, and a cold read on the proof to ensure proper grammar usage.

INDEXING

Lumina Datamatics’ indexing services involve the preparation of comprehensive author and subject indexes, leveraging metadata for accuracy and relevance. Moreover, we provide chronological indexing to enhance document navigation and accessibility, ensuring your content is organized and easily retrievable.

XML CONVERSION

XML conversion involves content transformation as required across generic and proprietary markup languages, which is well integrated with our organization’s workflow. Lumina Datamatics has developed expertise in converting any form of input file (Word, PDF, application files, or even hardcopy) to any required output file (XML, EPUB, etc.).

We use high-quality scanners to produce high-quality outputs from almost any kind of input. We use our proprietary data capture tools to capture English and even non-English languages with high accuracy. Lumina Datamatics uses its proprietary Word-based template for the styling and conversion process of all projects. We use a proprietary tool for browsing, content integrity check, and validation.
