What is indexing?

From the publisher’s page proofs:

  • Identifying and locating relevant information

  • Analysing concepts used and producing systematic and helpful alphabetical entries

  • Indicating relationships and groupings among concepts using cross-references

(BS 3700, British Standard Recommendations for Preparing Indexes to Books, Periodicals and Other Documents)

I use the professional indexing program Cindex for Windows, with output files in Word for Windows, rich text format (RTF), or with electronic tagging for the typesetter.

Clients’ comments:

  • “The index is excellent. I am grateful that you were able to do it to such a high standard in such a short time.” — Blackwell Publishing, Oxford
