Indexing Services

North Staffordshire Press & Academics began life in 2005 as a specialist indexing service for academic texts. Indexing remains a core strength: we produce professional indexes that add credibility, usability, and lasting value to scholarly and non-fiction works.

Why an Index Matters

  • Reader navigation: enables quick access to key names, themes, and concepts.
  • Academic credibility: most institutions and publishers require a complete, consistent index.
  • Professional polish: separates amateur self-publishing from credible publication.

Our Indexing Process

We create detailed, logical indexes tailored to the needs of your audience. Services include:

  • Subject analysis and controlled vocabulary
  • Cross-references and hierarchy structuring
  • Consistency checks across names, dates, and terms
  • Delivery in editable formats for easy integration

We’ve worked on hundreds of academic books, life writing projects, and specialist non-fiction titles across history, education, social sciences, and more.
