Typesetting & composition
Print and digital pages composed to your style sheet, in InDesign, LaTeX or 3B2.

JATS, BITS, DocBook, TEI, NLM legacy and any bespoke DTD or schema you hand us — tagged at full text, validated to the last element, and delivered with the report that proves it.
The work
XML conversion

A publisher's content outlives its platform. The XML you commission today is what makes a migration in five years a weekend job instead of a project.
We tag at full text rather than metadata-only, which means the semantics your readers and your indexers rely on — sections, citations, affiliations, funding, licences, maths, tables — are actually in the file. Everything is validated before it leaves us, and the validation report ships with the delivery.
What you get
Six things included
in every job.
Full-text tagging
Every structural element captured: sections, headings, lists, boxes, citations, cross-references, affiliations, ORCIDs, funding statements and licences.
Standards or your own schema
JATS 1.1 and 1.2, BITS 2.x, DocBook 5, TEI P5, NLM 2.3 and 3.0, ONIX for metadata, plus any publisher-specific DTD or RELAX NG schema you supply.
Maths and tables done right
MathML 3 for equations, CALS or XHTML table models, complex straddles and nested tables preserved rather than flattened to images.
Validated, then validated again
DTD or schema validation plus Schematron business rules, with the report attached to every delivery so you never have to take our word for it.
Deposit-ready files
PMC-ready packages, Crossref deposit XML, DOI registration files and repository-ready bundles prepared alongside the content.
Retro-conversion
Back-file programmes from print, scanned PDF or legacy typesetting files, rebuilt as clean structured XML with OCR correction and full proofing.
Specification
The detail your
production team
will want to see.
