Services

Copywriting

We can help you develop text for:

  • brochures
  • web pages
  • scripts

Digital Photography and Video

The Department of Surgery has two high-quality digital cameras (4.1 megapixels), one digital video camera, and a tripod that you may check out from the Publications Office. At times, we may also be able to assist you by taking photos and shooting the video for you.

Editing/Proofreading

We can edit and/or proofread the following:

  • journal articles
  • book chapters
  • grant proposals
  • galley proofs

For journal articles, please provide the Instructions for Authors and a sample article from the journal to which you are submitting. For book chapters, please provide a copy of the Author Guidelines.

Please allow at least 1 week for average-length journal articles and short book chapters; long book chapters may take up to 2 weeks.

Editorial Coordination

We can help you manage large editing projects, such as books, large book chapters, or special journal issues. Services include:

  • communicating directly with publisher
  • tracking manuscripts and review comments
  • assisting with author correspondence

Graphic Design and Support

We can design a variety of printed materials, including:

  • brochures
  • certificates
  • educational booklets
  • invitations
  • flyers
  • postcards
  • posters
  • signs

Other graphics services include:

  • editing and/or converting graphics

  • simple technical illustration

Slide Production

We produce PowerPoint slides for faculty and residents. Slides can contain text, charts, or images. Slides can either be sent to Media Solutions for output on to 35mm film, or returned to you as PowerPoint files for computer-based projection.

For new presentations, please allow at least 5 working days from the time you give us slide materials until final slides are received. If you need faster turnaround, please let us know in advance and we will try to accommodate you.

Please talk to us several weeks in advance if you have existing 35mm slides that need to be reworked for computer presentation.

Poster Production

We can produce posters for scientific meetings. Posters can be black and white or in color, designed as a single roll-up sheet or in pieces. Please provide poster requirements, text in Microsoft Word, and all figures at the beginning of the project. After you approve a proof, roll up posters are sent to an outside vendor for output.

Please allow at least 10 working days from the time you give us poster materials until the final poster is received. If you need faster turnaround, please let us know in advance and we will do our best to accommodate you.

Video editing

The Publications Office has the hardware, software, and knowledge necessary to edit your digital videos. We can also digitize your existing analog video cassettes. This is a new service, so please allow at least 2-3 working days for small projects to be completed and at least 8-10 working days for large projects.

Web Development

The Publications Office is responsible for the content and design of this website and the Surgery intranet.

Word Processing

Our word processing services include:

  • typing/updating manuscripts, reviews, faculty CVs, or other academic-related documents

Most word processing projects can be completed within 3 days. Particularly large projects may take a week or more.
