Editing, proofreading, typesetting, process management and the copyright protection of books have been made easier with a smart system launched by the Intellectual Property Publishing House last week.

 

The new offering dubbed Zhongzhibianjiao, which means the IPPH's editing and proofreading system, is the first of its kind in China. It is aimed at making the process of book publication paperless, electronic and smart, helping the industry to transform and upgrade digitally.

 

It is an important step in integrating media and disruptive technologies. The system is modular and features two subsystems - process management and complex unit editing and recognition - and five sub-modules: smart reviewing, change track, comparison, one-click layout and format conversion.

The publishing house said it has developed customizable solutions so users can select specific functions to make their own books.

 

"As a successive invention, this editing system has met its targets in research and development and will soon start its commercial operations."

The publishing house signed contracts with many famed publishing companies on the day of the launch.

 

"We believe the system will improve quality of publications, shorten working hours, streamline the publishing process and make greater contributions to developing China into a country with strong IP protection," Zhu said.
