High Speed With High Quality In Your Publication – How To Achieve Both Simultaneously? Via Regenerative Desktop Publishing!

Thursday, 13 Oct 2022 (Manila), creating my new blog “Regenerative Desktop Publishing” (where you’re reading this now), I declared that I have come up with a new package of, nay reinvented modern publishing by thinking out an entirely new term – “Regenerative Desktop Publishing” (Regenerative DTP) – which is publishing in high speed with high-quality results.

The image above is the cover of the Philippine Journal of Crop Science (PJCS) of April 2021, the latest issue (Philippine Journal of Crop Science, philippjcropsci.com). The PJCS is published by the Crop Science Society of the Philippines (CSSP).

The latest issue being April 2021 as of 14 Oct 2022 means the PJCS is late by 4 issues: Aug 2021, Dec 2021, April 2022, and Aug 2022. This is sad news. This is a PH Editor In Chief speaking.

I'm thinking now of offering my services as the digital Executive Editor of PJCS. I am not a stranger to the PJCS – I was the Editor In Chief 2001-2008 who wrought a miracle, rescuing that journal from being late 3 years, simultaneously making it world-class! (Check out my earlier essay, “Why Are PH Universities Ranked Way, Way Down! THE World University Rankings? Asking As A Friend!” (13 Oct 2022, Regenerative Desktop Publishing, blogspot.com).

Now I am enticing every publisher in the Philippines, wherever you are, to publish digitally. “Publishing in high speed with high quality results” in these 5 senses is regenerative DTP, as it invites-enables:

(1)   publications to continuously produce articles/papers that meet international readership standards;

(2)   publishers to come out regularly and on time;

(3)   DTP staff to perform well as required;

(4)   more paying readers to subscribe and/or obtain copies of the publication;

(5)   more people to learn desktop publishing (DTP) for such or similar publishing purposes.

(1) Readership
Speaking from 47 years of editing and publishing journals and magazines in agriculture & forestry, I say if your publication comes out regularly and with good editing, you attract readers here and abroad. In ancient times, I had welcome experiences being Editor In Chief of the publications of the Forest Research Institute: monthly newsletter Canopy, quarterly technical journal Sylvatrop, and quarterly color magazine Habitat – no issues were ever late, and these were before DTP arrived!

(2) Regular Editions
About regular publications: With high speed high quality works, your subscribers will want more.

(3) DTP Staff Behaving Better
If taught to be their best in their assignments, your DTP staff will behave well – they will perform happily whatever duties come to them.

(4) More Readers for Quality Outputs
Readership is the measure of popularity – Quality brings you more readers and therefore more financial rewards.

(5) Others Invited To Learn DTP Themselves
If others become aware of your Happy DTP operations, why they will be encouraged to learn DTP themselves – Like Begets Like!

In this Digital Age, there is no reason to be late with your technical or popular publication that comes out only 3 times a year! What about overall quality? It’s time to do DTP!@517

Frank A Hilario, Your Digital One-Man-Band Editor Of Manuscripts & Editor In Chief Of Publications

Nobody’s offering personal work from home (WFH) digital services in writing, editing and desktop publishing on Facebook, so I have this day-old blog, “Digital Frank A Hilario” ( digfrankahilario.blogspot.com ). Yes, I am “Your Digital FAH – Friend And Helper.” Yes, I enjoy being a WFH. At home, I use 2 monitors: a   Lenovo 14-inch ThinkPad , Core i7, and a 20-inch ViewSonic . I set my Windows 10 to background slideshow, so images keep changing in both monitors, from thousands of photographs I have collected with my 10-year-old-now-missing Lumix FZ100 digital camera. Nice views if you can get it! Yes, I can help you digitally from A to I: Author, Blogger, Communicator, Desktop Publisher, Editor, Editor in Chief, Forest Conservation Advocate, Ghostwriter, Home-Based Contributor, and In-House Editor-Publisher. We begin. For manuscripts of (1) theses and dissertations, in Agriculture & related fields, and (2) technical papers for publication, here’s some advice: 1.  ...

The Dilemma Of My Friend Nestor Maniebo Pestelos, (Not) Coming Out With His Personal-Social Memoirs At 81!

Image
Nestor Maniebo Pestelos from Tiaong, Quezon, married & living in Tagbilaran City, Bohol, is a good friend of mine, mind, dating back 60+ years when we were students at UPCA, now UP Los Baños – we both took the competitive writing exam for the Editor In Chief of the UPCA Student Body Organization ’s newspaper called Aggie Green & Gold , and he won. He already had content and style, from voracious reading, including Jean-Paul Sarte – existentialist. Me, never heard of him! And you know what Nestor Mn Pestelos did as Editor In Chief? He appointed Frank A Hilario, a stranger, full-blooded Ilocano, Tagalog Editor ! A historical first. Ah, but in high school, I had been devouring Liwayway and Bulaklak ! The other day or so, I saw Nestor’s Lament on Facebook, this: Nestor Maniebo Pestelos NOTES TO MYSELF AT 70 (… First time to be posted)… Surprised I found this in my digital file. This was written 9 years ago, when I reached 70. Must find time to finish it now that I feel my b...

“Writer’s Champ Vs Writer’s Cramp” – You Are One Of Our Modern Indios Bravos If You Can Start – And Then Finish Writing Your Book!

Image
In these unpredictable times, long after the Spanish conquerors called us Filipinos “Indios,” you have to be an Indian Brave if you want to write your autobiography or memoirs. Actually, your first problem is not these challenging times but the time you spend writing your book! Do you know how to spend it wisely? I doubt it. This is an author of 20+ books – all of them written in drafts and finalized digitally – thank God , and Steve Jobs & Steve Wozniak for the personal computer or PC! The image you see above is the cover of my Dec 2005 book titled “ indios bravos! Jose Rizal as Messiah of the Redemption.” Singly, I believe Rizal was not after Revolution but after Redemption of the Filipinos from mental slavery. Today, I am your Redeemer. I will redeem you from your writer’s cramp, your inability to write your book. I am your Writer’s Champ who guarantees you no Writer’s Cramp! What is a Writer-Editor with 50+ years experience and who published his own 20+ books good for? (No...
