Spanish term

registro editorial

Spanish to English Marketing Advertising / Public Relations
Thanks to everyone who has helped out with my two previous postings. I think this will be the last one!

I’m translating a text that describes the services provided by a "communication and design agency" based in Spain. They help clients with copywriting, creating websites, corporate identity, etc.

In this part they're talking about a project in which they helped the client create a publication to promote its paper products. Each issue of the magazine had a specific theme. I’m looking for the proper term for “registro editorial”.

Nuestra labor desde XXX Ediciones abarcaba desde la elección del tema y del ***registro editorial*** para el número, pasando por la selección de colaboradores y la elaboración del briefing para cada uno de ellos, continuando por la redacción de textos, la revisión de traducciones y la supervisión de la producción.

Es decir, se debería leer del siguiente modo: la labor de XX es la de elegir el tema y el "tono/variedad lingüistica" relativos a las ediciones del artículo/revista/períodico... (o lo que sea).
Creo que cada vez tengo más claro que se refiere al matiz o variedad lingüistica que se debe utilizar para la edición... además, el "número" se refiere a la revista, períodico o libro (number, issue, edition) y no a un "número de registro". Saludos
Estoy con Justin... creo que aquí se refiere al carácter/tipo/cariz/matiz del artículo o editorial. Yo lo traduciría como: "characteristics of the articles" o "editorial characteristics". Saludos

Could be. All I have is what's above. When the term "registro editorial" is used in other references (Google) it's often together with a registration number.
¿Podría tratarse del registro ISBN (International Standard Book Number) o el ISSN (International Standard Serial Number), que es el código empleado para normalizar internacionalmente el registro de los libros, etc.?

Editorial Tone

En el contexto que nos das, lo de elegir el "editorial registry" no me cuadra nada. Choosing the editorial registry? No, a menos que esté am escrito el original, que es muy posible.
No estoy seguro, pero creo que el registro aquí podría referirse al registro lingüístico, en el sentido del tono editorial que ellos eligen adoptar en la publicación.
Ante la duda, consultalo con el cliente, pero creo que puede tratarse de eso.
Note from asker:
I agree. Of course it's possible that the sentence isn't very well written and "registro editorial" is supposed to be a separate take (not connected to "selecting").
Peer comment(s):

neutral David Ronder : My thought exactly - editorial tone or stance, because how can you choose a registry entry? But I couldn't find any examples of it being used in this way, and most hits did suggest that the term relates to registering ISBN/ISSN nos. etc. No se.

editorial stance

The consensus here seems to be moving in the direction that it is about the attitude the publication adopts, not some kind of legal or professional register/registry. I think "editorial tone" and "editorial register" are semantically valid for "registro" in this context, but that editorial stance is more collocationally correct - it's what we say. A publication has a general tone, but it adopts stances on issues as they arise. Register is primarily a linguistic term. Plenty of examples of editorial stance:
