Smart Edit®
The smart choice for authors, editors, and publishers
Smart Edit is an automated program within KGL’s Smart Suite platform built with innovative pre-edit, copyedit, and conversion features so there is no need for authors to follow a particular Word template. The system is built on the latest version of Microsoft Office and Visual Studio and incorporates a host of features such as automated clean-up, highly customizable pre-edit, and fully- automated editorial style application.
Ensuring Quality and Integrity
Editorial staff undergo in-depth training and onboarding, evaluation, ongoing feedback, and regular assessments. Smart Suite®, uses intelligent automation to aid overall copyediting quality and speed by automating publisher and journal-specific editorial styles, citation corrections, and reference checking. Schematron validation, and integration of tools like the PMC Style Checker, result in high-quality copyedited content, and perfectly structured XML tagging.

Latest Insights
The boundary that separates legitimate from dubious academic journals—and the process by which they can rapidly descend from the former to the latter group—also serves as a cautionary case in point.
The integrity of scholarly research has always been one of the most—if not the most—important pillars of academic publishing. Authenticity, accuracy and reliability have always been the bedrock of the industry and a source of great pride for those working within it.
Remaining competitive in today’s complicated scholarly journal landscape has never been more challenging for publishers. Confronted with rapidly evolving business models, funding constraints, growing competition and stretched resources, sustaining and growing revenue can seem like a daunting task and uphill struggle at times.
