Rapid Automation without Sacrificing Quality
KGL is known for comprehensive content preparation services that include copyediting, proofreading, reference checking, and more. With a focus on editorial quality combined with record-setting turnaround times, we partner with scholarly publishers to meet schedules and continuously improve performance.

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.
