AutoProof is a unique cutting-edge content solution developed by Charlesworth to process a variety of source content (Word files, database information, text documents, etc) to XML and then, through a customised typesetting interface, to completed paginated files.
Designed to produce high quality typesetting in a fraction of the usual turnaround time, the system excels in the production of STM journals but can also be applied to books, e-books, catalogues, dictionaries, abstracts and meeting programs.
AutoProof integrates with other key industry systems such as peer review, copy-edit tools and online hosting platforms. The system is also able to handle multiple languages.
Improve your workflow
Expect AutoProof's unique, paperless workflow to reduce publication
schedules, typically by around 5 working days to first proof.
Briefly, editors submit Word files (or standard input documents) to Charlesworth's AutoProof server and receive fully typeset PDF proofs electronically within 10 minutes. The process includes the integration and placement of graphic files, maths processing and all layout requirements. Charlesworth's online tracking system allows the editor to remotely log in acceptance of a proof generated via the system, and make it immediately available for review by the author.
The key benefits are time and cost savings through automated pagination with very little manual intervention.
