Subject-Matter Indexing
Back-of-book Indexing of Monographs & Collections in the Humanities, Social Sciences & Related Disciplines
While I am confortable with using Generative AI & Productivity Tools in my day-to-day work, I earnestly concur with the empirical findings of research in information science regarding the insufficient prowess in automation of indexing. Software algorithms operate on string-matching and keyword density that process language as data rather than conceptual construction. Academic indexing requires a qualitative reading to discern how authors build their theoretical arguments and conceptual connection. I prioritize critical and hermeneutical reading and will contact you directly when uncertain. This ensures that your index functions as reliable map of the discourse that preserves contextual nuance and structural integrity.
Bibliographic Quality Control
Cross-Reference Bibliographic Audit
I conduct a systematic audit of a manuscript to identify and consolidate phantom references (cited in text but missing from the list of references) or orphaned entries (in the bibliography but not cited in-text) to ensure document integrity.
