When developing educational content, it is important to ensure that the information is carefully aligned to the learning objectives and the corresponding standards of the curriculum framework. Content writers who are often not aware of the pedagogy of certain grade levels fail to put up the information in a grade-appropriate manner.

Also, content development usually requires an understanding of aesthetics, including research, organization of content, supporting images, and formatting. Many content developers are not aware or well-versed with the tools that can help enhance the content.

diacriTech holds a niche in delivering innovative content for a diverse range of publishers across the globe. Our team of content developers has hands-on experience in researching, developing, and creating content across disciplines to support the learning requirements of K-12, ELT, Higher Education, and STM students.

They ensure that the content is original and free of plagiarism, adheres to the client guidelines, maps to learning objectives and any other framework, is relevant to the topic, and is factually correct. Our highly skilled content developers make sure that the content is free of language and structural errors, is in a valid format, supported by relevant and appropriate graphics along with other visual representations.

Being familiar with best practices in curriculum building and lesson planning, they can easily adapt content as required. For example, reflect bloom’s taxonomy, make it age-appropriate, or meet syllabi objectives.

With just about 5% of the submitted papers being accepted in high-impact journals, the need for a competent assessment and screening process has never been greater. diacriTech has specialist editors from various scientific disciplines to perform manuscript assessment and technical screening (MATS) services. The purpose of MATS is to ensure all manuscript submissions are screened for language, completeness and are ready for peer review before being assigned to an editor.

People often confuse it with proofreading and copy editing, but it differs from both. Proofreading and copy-editing are detailed reviewing processes to check the accuracy of spelling, grammar, and punctuation, while a Manuscript Assessment provides professional advice or an objective opinion of your work that comes from an experienced industry professional.

diacriTech works with a team of authors and editors to make sure someone with expertise in your area reads your manuscript. The manuscripts are carefully screened for completeness at this stage to ensure their smooth movement through the peer review process without any issues. This averts additional and needless work for all the process stakeholders such as author, editor, reviewer, and journal manager at a later stage.

With MATS being a time-sensitive academic operation, diacriTech uses postgraduates in Science or Engineering having good knowledge of written English to comprehend the journal requirement quickly and ensure successful screening.
