SCIENTIFIC AND TECHNICAL EDITING, ILLUSTRATION,
PROOFREADING AND TYPESETTING
The Science Press is a consultancy based in Cape Town, South
Africa, offering an integrated
editing and typesetting service for the
publishers of scientific and technical books, journals and other printed
material. This includes on-screen copy-editing, specialist typesetting,
illustration, page layout, proofreading and project management.

Our main line of business is taking projects through all the pre-press
stages of production, from receipt of an author’s manuscript to
supplying fully edited, typeset and proofread pages. However, we
are happy to accept commissions that require specific elements of the
production process – for instance, proofreading, copy-editing or
typesetting.

Using our combined
experience in scientific and medical education,
research and publishing, we can undertake to edit at any level from
checking for basic errors of grammar and spelling to working with an
exacting house style, rewriting text by non-native English speakers,
and providing detailed accuracy checks in medical, biological and
physical sciences.

Our dual roles of editor and typesetter enable us to eliminate much
duplication of work and to retain editorial and typographical control of
a project at all stages in its production. The benefits to our clients are
a consistent approach, a guarantee of quality, a full project
management service and considerable savings in time and costs.
