Copyedit process

Track changes with Microsoft Word. In the Tools menu, the option Track Changes allows copyeditors to add (the text is displayed in a different colour) and delete text (the text is displayed with a strikethrough in a different colour or in the margin when erased). The copyeditor can send questions to authors or editors (in brackets). The coyedited version is uploaded and the author is notified. Editors and authors must leave the changes they agree with. If further changes are needed, editors and authors can add them to the initial insertions or deleted text(s), and insert/delete text anywhere else. Authors must reply to all indications (using brackets). Once the text has been reviewed by the author and the editor, the copyeditor will make a final revision to prepare the text for the final layout.
