Problem Problem

The major challenge faced by Acadecraft was the bulk copyediting requirement of the Client to be completed in a short span of time with limited copyeditors. As the academic content provided by the Client dealt in higher education, it was necessary for the copyeditors to do a thorough double check of the content before finalizing it.

In case of organizational and structural problems in some of the learning materials, our experts are supposed to raise a query to be addressed and modified by the content creators in the Client’s team which is also a time-consuming process. Thus, providing high-quality and error-free content in such a short period was challenging for Acadecraft given the bulk requirement and limited editors.

Challenge Action

We checked the requirement of the number of copyeditors needed to meet the bulk copyediting requirement in a limited period of time. We contacted experienced copyeditors from all around the world to help us in achieving the target. We conducted a quick test to shortlist the required copyeditors in order to check their knowledge and skills. After finalising the experts, training was provided in order to make them familiar with the guidelines and requirements of the Client. The bulk allocation was then divided in several small batches to complete the work on time.

Solution Benefit

We have been able to meet the client’s requirement of bulk copyediting with the help of off-shore and on-shore copyeditors within the given time period without compromising the quality of the work. The whole case helped us to meet other experienced copyeditors from all around the world who are specialised in different languages and subjects. It has increased our efficiency, capability and diversity as a team. Now, we continue to maintain the high-quality content and ensure the on-time deliveries to our Client despite the work volume.
