What's included:
- Footer replacement — author-supplied footers removed and replaced with consistent branded footers across all papers
- Volume compilation — papers assembled in session order from the metadata sheet
- Front matter — cover page, copyright page, committee listing, foreword, sponsor pages
- Table of contents — auto-generated with titles, authors, and page numbers, linked to each paper
- PDF bookmarks for navigation
- CrossRef DOI registration — XML deposit generated from the metadata sheet and validated
- JATS XML export for academic indexing
- Author index
- Individual stamped PDFs delivered alongside the compiled volume
- One revision round included (corrected metadata, reordering, paper replacements)
What you provide:
- Numbered PDFs:
[paper_number]_final.pdf, formatted to the agreed template - Metadata sheet (Excel template provided): paper number, session, title, authors (up to 5 per paper) with affiliation and ORCID, corresponding author email, keywords (up to 6, semicolon-separated), abstract
- Front matter content: cover design, committee list, foreword text, sponsor logos, copyright text, ISBN/ISSN
- DOI prefix and ISSN confirmed with CrossRef
The surcharge for non-compliant papers (wrong dimensions, missing fonts, broken PDFs, page limit exceeded) is communicated upfront after an initial quality check — never as a surprise at delivery. Extended abstracts without DOI are included in the compiled volume but excluded from the CrossRef deposit. Abstracts in the metadata sheet are optional but recommended for better CrossRef indexing. The service operates on finished PDFs — no content editing or individual paper typesetting is included.
