How Our Digital Production QA Service Works
Our Step-by-Step Process
Our Digital Production QA Service follows a structured, transparent workflow to ensure quality, accuracy, and compliance across all digital outputs.
Initial File Review
Our QA process begins with the assessment of all files related to production (manuscripts, proofs, XML, PDF, and supplemental materials) to determine what types of quality risks exist.
Quality Assessment & Checklist Mapping
The QA review is performed against a series of QA checklists that are designed to be consistent with publisher guidelines, journal requirements, and industry best practices.
Detailed QA Review
The QA expert will perform a line-by-line check to ensure that the following elements have been evaluated for accuracy, consistency in format, correct metadata, correct URLs, proper citations/references, and the correct graphical representation of data/information.
Error Reporting & Resolution
Our QA report will detail all issues identified, make recommendations for correction, and list all necessary corrections. We will also work with the production department to correct any issues identified.
Final QA Validation
Once all corrections are made, we will perform one final validation to ensure that all issues are corrected, and the product is ready for publication.
