Editing
Biblioso relies on the processes outlined in The Chicago Manual of Style for preparing an initial manuscript for publication. Among other things, preparing content for print or online media requires consideration of audience and editing for concise wording, correct facts and examples, clarity of explanations, as well as completeness and cohesion of information.
Our ideal editing process, illustrated below, successively focuses with finer granularity on the different aspects of editing. In the real-world, however, certain editing processes may be combined or skipped to save time and costs. For example, an experienced author might not require developmental editing. Sometimes, developmental editing and line editing are combined if the quality of the raw material warrants this approach.
Our ideal editing process consists of the following steps:
Manuscript Submission
Developmental Editing
Author Review
Line Editing
Author Review
Technical Editing
Author Review
Copy Editing
Author Review
Handoff to Publishing Processes
  1. During the developmental edit, the content structure and flow of thoughts are revised to ensure clarity of information.
  2. After the author review and incorporations of suggested changes, the line editor reviews the content at the paragraph level to check for consistency, cohesion, clarity, and flow within and between paragraphs.
  3. The material is passed back to the author for verification and incorporate of changes.
  4. Technical editors verify accuracy of facts and submit suggestions to the author for review.
  5. Following this author review, the copy editing commences. The content is scrutinized during this last pass of editing to catch mistakes, ensure consistency of terms and use, and check for proper sentence structure and meaning. The edited material is passed back to the author for confirmation of changes.
  6. After the final author review, the material is ready for the publishing processes, such as desktop publishing, proofreading, and print or online publication.
The Biblioso platform enables authors and editors to collaborate based on a central project plan that outlines when each of the individual editing steps occur. For each individual project, we can customize the project plan to reflect your specific editing requirements and goals.



Regardless of the actual series of steps and complexity of individual editing processes, Biblioso facilitates the editing of content through the following features:
  • All the information needed to participate in the project is in one centralized location and all content associated with the project can be downloaded at any time for reference purposes.
  • Content that is currently in processing is protected from concurrent write access to prevent version conflicts.
  • Document management and versioning is automated based on a central document repository.
  • Project resources can get quick answers to questions about the project through discussion and issue tracking forums maintained centrally by project managers.
  • Project resources have real-time access to global and project-specific style sheets as well as terminology databases.
  • The editing progress is tracked continuously against deadlines based on a central project plan and the exact status is reported for each individual work item.
