Role of an Electronic Publisher

There are several people involved in the publishing process starting from Author, Publisher, Designer, Typesetter and Printer. Publishers accept manuscripts for publishing and make information available for public through Books, Journals, Internet, etc. Once the manuscript for the book or the articles comes to the publisher from the author, the next step is to get the files transferred from the publisher to the E-Publishing unit. Followed by pre-editing, the files are cleaned up of extra spaces, paragraph returns, junk characters and other unnecessary text elements. The next step is data conversion, where the text is converted or tagged to fit into an XML workflow. After the data is converted, the next step is to process the images, drawings, charts and other graphics received from the author. Once the text and the graphics are ready, the next step will be to assemble them together in a layout according to the supplied specifications. This process is called Pagination. The final book or articles are then checked for suitability for printing in a process called pre-flighting and are then uploaded to the customer for approval.
