Technical Editing and Coordination

What We Do

The sustainability of academic publishing depends not only on content creation but also on ensuring that this content is prepared to the highest scientific, ethical, and technical standards. This is where the Technical Editing and Coordination Unit comes into play, serving as the cornerstone of Galenos Publishing House’s editorial philosophy. Our teams provide a high-standard editorial infrastructure behind every manuscript.

Pre-Publication Process Management

Submitted manuscripts are checked for completeness, including copyright transfer forms, conflict of interest statements, ethics committee approvals, and patient consent documents. Any missing items are promptly requested from authors through direct communication.

Anonymization and Ethical Compliance

The double-blind peer review process is meticulously executed. Author and institutional information is removed from manuscripts, while figures and supplementary files are carefully screened. Peer review reports are monitored to ensure impartiality and scientific validity.

Revisions and Communication

During the revision process, new versions are compared with previous submissions. Responses to reviewer comments are verified, and any missing information is requested from authors when necessary. The process is conducted with transparent communication and effective time management.

Compliance with Author Guidelines and Formatting

Accepted manuscripts are reviewed for compliance with author guidelines prior to typesetting: title, abstract, keywords, table and figure arrangement, accuracy and formatting of references are carefully checked.

Plagiarism and Originality

Manuscripts are screened using tools such as iThenticate. Similarity scores are evaluated in context, and corrections are requested from authors when needed.

Journal-Specific Applications

Each journal has unique areas of editorial focus. The technical editing team works closely with Editors-in-Chief to provide flexible, tailored solutions.

DOI, QR Code, and Archiving

Each article is assigned a DOI and a QR code. Final versions are reviewed before being transferred to archiving systems and submitted to national and international platforms.

Inter-Team Coordination

Technical editing teams, working under four leaders, hold regular meetings to share experiences. Common issues are addressed collectively, and an internal technical knowledge base is continuously developed.

Monitoring and Reporting

Every stage of each manuscript is systematically recorded. Reviewer response times, article type distributions, and publication timelines are analyzed and reported to senior management and editors.

Peer Review Management

Reviewer invitations, response times, decision types, and the technical adequacy of comments are closely monitored. Metadata of files is also checked to ensure the integrity of the double-blind process.

Training and Continuous Improvement

Teams regularly conduct internal audit simulations. New checklists and protocols are developed, and feedback from external consultants is incorporated to ensure continuous improvement.
