The work of the editor on the publication of the local lore editions (on the example of the «National dendrological park "Sofiyivka"» book)

The paper is dedicated to the study of the «National Dendrological Park “Sofiyivka”» edition. The book presents the tour of the park, which fully corresponds by its landscape, flora and fauna characteristics to the requirements of the social tourism resources.

In the process of investigation, the observation method was used to form basic ideas about the topic under study; analysis and synthesis methods were applied to estimate the quality of work of the editorial team while preparing regional editions (on the example of «National dendrological park “Sofiyivka”» book by Ivan Semenovich Kosenko); induction and deduction methods helped to formulate conclusions of the study.

It was found that this edition does not meet the requirements for popular science editions of its level neither in terms of the specifics of presentation, nor in design or nomenclature. It was pointed out that on the mock-up of the annotated catalogue card there is no author’s sign indicating that the content of this mandatory component of the edition is incomplete, a comma is missing in the information about the repetition of the issue. It was also revealed that the photo and art materials were designed with violations of the requirements of artistic and technical editing: the design of the two sections is different, not all photos are signed, the photo materials are not unified - some of them are coloured, and some are black and white, they are different in size and structured differently . There is no content in the edition, although the composition here is divided into two sections, and separately, after the second chapter, there is a wealth of illustrative material.

The results of the study can be used in the further development of issues related to the analysis of the quality of editorial work, in the formation of training courses and master classes on the analysis of the work of the editorial board on a particular edition.
