Once peer review is complete, authors must prepare their manuscript and all accompanying artwork, tabular material, etc., for publication production. These instructions, Submitting the Final Manuscript to Communication Services, explain how to do that preparation.
After ANR peer review is complete, here are the steps that authors can expect during publication production with Communication Services: CS editor (CS) copyedits the manuscript using Microsoft Word's track changes feature.
CS editor (CS) copyedits the chapters using Microsoft Word's track changes feature. The copyedited files are set up so that authors can review and make changes directly on them and all their work will show up as tracked changes.
The vast majority of ANR foreign-language materials are in Spanish. Their peer review processmanaged by the Spanish-Language Materials Associate Editordiffers from that of English materials. ANR-numbered translations are made only from English text that has successfully passed ANR peer review.
Most multi-chapter, multi-author ANR publications are shepherded by a Technical Editor. This person functions as the primary contact author during the publications production and typically is listed as the books primary author in literature citations.
Charts, graphs, and tables and all photographs and line drawings that provide important technical content (such as identification of a pest or plant) are considered part of text and must be peer reviewed with the text.
Sometimes authors want a manuscript peer reviewed through ANR but wish to produce the finished publications themselves, rather than by Communication Services.
