How to Improve the Quality and Efficiency of Books and Periodicals

In the publication of books and periodicals, computer typography occupies a very important link, but also a complex process, the following process flow: manuscript entry → format according to a certain format → Mao school in the printing factory → revision of a school draft→ Second school revised version → three school draft revision → nuclear red → out of the film.
In the above-mentioned operation process, the recording and operating personnel have a direct bearing on the publication quality, the publishing cycle, and the image of the printing company. The author summed up some experiences in years of work for reference by peers.
1. The input of proficiency and accuracy in book and book input is using the Wubi type input method, and the operator uses the “blind” input. During the entry process, the adjacent keys are easily mistyped. In particular, it is also necessary to continuously disassemble the characters and combine the roots of the characters. In case of manuscripts in the form of scribbled handwriting, it is necessary to guess the word. Therefore, “odd” characters that do not correspond to the overall meaning often appear, which requires the entry personnel to have skillful operation skills.
2. Formatting According to the format requirements, recording personnel should master certain normative skills of book layout design. Such as the use of the text and number of the book to be unified; the specifications of the diagrams and formulas should be unified; the title should be the subject of the whole book; the writing of the word should be simplified; the conversion of the foreign texts and italics; the exchange of fonts and fonts; And so on, must meet the standards of books and publication standards.
Due to the presence of one-button multi-character, heavy code phenomenon and careless operation or virus infection during Chinese characters entry, fonts, font size errors, incorrect matching of the chart body, blank error, printer output and screen display inconsistency, etc. are often unexpected. The mistake, this requires the entry staff to carry on the hair school to its result.
3, to enhance cultural quality, the good proofreading Guan Mao school is a proofreading form before leaving the book, on the basis of respecting the manuscript, mistakes, misreading, wrong key, missing key, “virus”, etc Incorrect errors are corrected.
The proofreading method is "word-to-word". This "word-to-word" look may seem simple, but it is not easy to actually do it. To really make a good word, not only must master the characteristics of Chinese characters, sounds, and meanings, but also have a serious and responsible work attitude, an unrequited style of work, and a proficient use of proofreading methods and techniques. For manuscripts that are scribbled and written in a non-standard way, the ability to analyze and identify must be improved.
4. Carefully and meticulously revising the version, sparsely evading the school's proofs that were issued after the revision of the school was sent to the publishing house as a sample. The subsequent process (revision of the school, revision of the second school, revision of the three schools, and nuclear redness) is an iterative process of revision. The revision work is a focused, careful and patient concentrated performance. After careful revision, the recording and recording personnel again verify the mistakes on a screen-by-page basis, improve the accuracy of the revision, and reduce the number of repeated revisions. Book publication efficiency. The meticulous, fast and accurate operating skills of the recording staff effectively established and maintained the image and reputation of the printing company, and also improved its own value.
