- Using Microsoft Word's Track Changes feature, the editorial staff at NCTM
headquarters will electronically copyedit each manuscript for spelling, punctuation, grammar,
consistency of style, clarity, and conciseness. The copyeditors may suggest
rewriting for clarity and logical organization and may make recommendations for
the readability and integrity of the document.
- The editors will send the copyedited
manuscript to the lead author. The lead author must review the editing, answer
all queries, and return the manuscript to NCTM (or to the volume editor) within
the time frame specified. The editors
will send instructions on how to use the Track Changes feature to answer
queries.
- For solicited manuscripts, the lead author accounts for the planning and
operational expenses related to the development of the book. Requests for
reimbursement should be submitted in a timely manner throughout the project.
