Two Strategies
• Style Guide• Manuscript Preparation (Ms Prep)
– Text– Math– Tables– Art
![Page 6: At the Workbench: Editorial Office How-To’s Joy Richmond](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062407/56649d8d5503460f94a75005/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
Drafting the Ground Plan: Style Guides
• Why? • Often, many hands touch a manuscript
– Authors– Editor– Managing Editor– Technical Editor– Editorial Assistant– Copyeditor– Typesetter– Proofreader
• Get everyone on same page
![Page 7: At the Workbench: Editorial Office How-To’s Joy Richmond](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062407/56649d8d5503460f94a75005/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
Published Style Guides Why not?
• Published guides– Chicago (The Chicago Manual of Style)
– AMA (The American Medical Association Manual of Style)
– CSE (Scientific Style and Format: Council of Science Editors Manual for Authors, Editors, & Publishers)
• Long & cumbersome• Not definitive• Not journal specific• Hybrid styles
![Page 8: At the Workbench: Editorial Office How-To’s Joy Richmond](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062407/56649d8d5503460f94a75005/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
Style Guide Construction
• Choose published guide & dictionary
• Special instructions• Basic Formatting
• Internal Style• Technical Style (including math & statistics)
• Citations & References• Callouts for Figures & Tables
![Page 9: At the Workbench: Editorial Office How-To’s Joy Richmond](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062407/56649d8d5503460f94a75005/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Laying the Foundation: Ms Prep
• Text• Math• Tables• Art
![Page 10: At the Workbench: Editorial Office How-To’s Joy Richmond](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062407/56649d8d5503460f94a75005/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
Text Prep: Basics• Keep it simple• Keep character formatting (e.g., bold,
italics)• Running heads & feet• Track changes: accept changes & turn off• Line numbering off• All indentation off
– except: paragraph indents • Footnotes/endnotes off
![Page 11: At the Workbench: Editorial Office How-To’s Joy Richmond](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062407/56649d8d5503460f94a75005/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)

![Page 13: At the Workbench: Editorial Office How-To’s Joy Richmond](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062407/56649d8d5503460f94a75005/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Text Prep: Special Characters
• Use common fonts – Times New Roman preferred
• Esp. for special characters
• X vs. Χ, – vs. —
• Not a DIY project (e.g., o vs. °)• USE SMALL CAPS FUNCTION • Be consistent
![Page 14: At the Workbench: Editorial Office How-To’s Joy Richmond](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062407/56649d8d5503460f94a75005/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Text Prep: Math
• Conform to standard conventions• Use MathType
– MathType vs. Math Into Type
• In-text math– keyboard characters– MS Word special characters– SGML entities
• .pdf is a useful reference– not a replacement for .doc or an .rtf files
![Page 15: At the Workbench: Editorial Office How-To’s Joy Richmond](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062407/56649d8d5503460f94a75005/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Table Prep: Basics
• Use Table function in MS Word• Not included in table cells
– Title– Footnotes
• No extra returns• No blank rows or columns
![Page 16: At the Workbench: Editorial Office How-To’s Joy Richmond](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062407/56649d8d5503460f94a75005/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)

Table Prep
• Typesetting applies journal style – Title– Alignment
• Stub & column heads• Decimal alignment
– Vertical spacing– Rules and bars
![Page 18: At the Workbench: Editorial Office How-To’s Joy Richmond](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062407/56649d8d5503460f94a75005/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)

At the Workbench Best Practices
![Page 53: At the Workbench: Editorial Office How-To’s Joy Richmond](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062407/56649d8d5503460f94a75005/html5/thumbnails/53.jpg)
Best Practices for Text• Keep it simple• Keep character formatting (e.g., bold, italics)• Running heads & feet• Turn off:
– track changes– line numbering– indentation (all but paragraph indents)– footnotes/endnotes
• Preferred font: Times New Roman• Special characters
– X vs. Χ, – vs. —– no DIY projects (e.g., o vs. °)– USE SMALL CAPS FUNCTION
• Be consistent
![Page 54: At the Workbench: Editorial Office How-To’s Joy Richmond](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062407/56649d8d5503460f94a75005/html5/thumbnails/54.jpg)
Best Practices for Math
• Conform to standard conventions• Use MathType• In-text math
– keyboard characters– MS Word special characters– SGML entities
• provide a .pdf for reference purposes
![Page 55: At the Workbench: Editorial Office How-To’s Joy Richmond](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062407/56649d8d5503460f94a75005/html5/thumbnails/55.jpg)
Best Practices for Tables• Use Table function in MS Word• Leave title and footnotes above and below the
table• Let our typesetting systems do the style work for
you (alignment, vertical spacing, rules and bars – No extra returns, tabs, or spaces– No blank rows or columns– No rules or bars– Use em spaces for indentations
• Must be processed as art– Vertical rules– Some shading– Graphic elements
![Page 56: At the Workbench: Editorial Office How-To’s Joy Richmond](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062407/56649d8d5503460f94a75005/html5/thumbnails/56.jpg)
Best Practices for Art• File formats
– .eps; .tiff; .pdf; .psd (Photoshop); .ai (Illustrator); .doc – ideal: .
• .eps files in Illustrator • vectored rather than rasterized
• Resolution – halftone and color (300 ppi/dpi)– line art (1200 ppi/dpi)
• Color – e-file in CMYK– hard copy for color matching
• Embed font files (avoid TrueType & bitmap fonts)• Figure size: as close to desired size as possible
