Typesetting since 2003

Scientific LaTeX typesetting

Books, journal papers and theses in mathematics, physics, chemistry, engineering, computer science and biomedicine. Taken from a handwritten manuscript through to the final stage, the way scientific publishers actually need it done.

Production typesetting for scientific and technical publishers in the US and Europe, most of it unattributed and under confidentiality.

The printed record

My name is printed in the front matter of Nova Science Publishers titles in New York, across 2003 to 2005, in editorial production. Over 70 of those volumes are traceable in Google Books today. The actual number credited is higher, because only part of that catalogue was ever digitised.

You do not have to take my word for any of it. One search returns the volumes, with my name visible inside the scanned credits page of each one.

Most typesetting work is unattributed. That is normal in this trade: the publisher and the author are named, the compositor is not, and much of it sits under confidentiality terms. So the credits below are the exceptions rather than the record. Where I am named, the ISBN is given and you can check it.

Named projects

Three I am free to name. Current client work stays private unless the client asks otherwise.

Euclidean and Transformational Geometry: A Deductive Inquiry

Shlomo Libeskind, Professor of Mathematics, University of Oregon

Jones and Bartlett Publishers, 2008

Typeset from the handwritten manuscript through to the final stage. The author named me in the acknowledgements, on page ix of the Preface, which you can read in the Google Books preview. The book is still in print and sold internationally, and a revised edition is now published by Springer.

What the work covers

From whatever you have now, to a file a publisher or a journal will accept.

Keyboarding from any source

Handwritten, hard copy, scanned or word-processed manuscripts, rekeyed or converted into clean LaTeX source. Word to LaTeX conversion at volume is routine work here, not an exception.

Full page composition

Margins, chapter and body styles, image and table placement, landscape sections, first-page and even-odd running heads, page numbering, and float placement that does not fight the text.

Front matter and back matter

Title page, preface, about the author, appendices, bibliography, references and a generated table of contents, all built to the publisher or journal specification.

Heavy mathematics

Displayed and aligned multi-line equations, matrices, theorem environments, chemical structures and dense tabular material. This is the part most general typesetters decline.

Proofs and corrections

PDF page proofs for review, then as many correction rounds as the work needs. Corrections are where a book is won or lost, because one change can reflow an entire volume.

Publisher and journal specs

Submission rules for a named journal, a publisher house style, or a university thesis template, applied exactly rather than approximately.

Price

USD 5.00

per manuscript page

Prices exclude VAT. VAT is added where it applies.

Send the manuscript, or a representative sample of it, and say what the target is: a publisher, a named journal, or a thesis template. You get a fixed quote and a delivery window before anything starts.
