Spanish term or phrase: registro editorial
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.

Editorial Tone
Explanation:
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.

Notes to answerer
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 comments on this answer (and responses from the answerer)
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


Explanation:
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:
