How do I add chapter keywords?

Elsa allows you to tag your content and add chapter keywords directly in the platform. Adding keywords in Elsa will make a chapter and/or its individual elements easier to discover on Elsevier platforms and search engines after publication. For many Elsa projects, a minimum of 5 chapter keywords are required to encourage discoverability of digital content.

Keywords and content tags must be added directly from the Elsa Write Space and cannot be imported via a Word file.

To Add Chapter Keywords

To add chapter keywords, click on the purple Keywords pill and then select "Add Keywords" to launch the modal window. Select from pre-populated options or create your own by typing in a keyword and hitting enter.

On many Elsa projects, there are Abstracts and Keywords (minimum 5 keywords) are compulsory elements on the Publishing Assistant and chapters cannot be sent in the workflow without entering these elements in the designated sections at the top of the Write Space.

If these items are not entered, an alert will display when sending the chapter.

To Add Content Tags

To get started with tagging, highlight the section of content you would like to tag, and click on the "Content Tag" icon in the top toolbar. Select from pre-populated options or create your own by typing in a keyword and hitting enter.

Types of Tags

• Chapter keywords describe the most important topics in the chapter in a few words.
• Content tags describe the concept(s)/topics of an individual paragraph or asset.
• Component tags are applied to a section, paragraph, or figure and tell what the function of that content is.
