UC ANR is committed to providing an accessible and inclusive web experience for all users. If you encounter an accessibility barrier or need content in an alternative or remediated accessible format, please contact anraccessibility@ucanr.edu.
Most large ANR publication projects (multi-author, multi-chapter, or both) require the involvement of a Technical Editor, who in all likelihood volunteered for the role or was asked by the publications authors, work group, or an Associate Editor.
Using UC ANRs translation processes will ensure that your Spanish material is accurate, targeted to your audience, and of the highest quality possible. Any type of material can be translated, and material that has already been translated can be checked for accuracy.
Cost UC ANR authors must have recharge funds for two of the steps in creating a Spanish translation of peer-reviewed materials. If they do not have resources, authors can apply for assistance from UC ANR leadership. There is no charge for the initial evaluation of your English text (Step 1).
All language experts know that it is more difficult to correct a translation that was done by someone who is not a trained translator than it is to do a translation from scratch.
Assessing reviews Once the last of your reviews has been completed, its time for you to compile them and respond to the author with the decision. Log into your Associate/Guest Editor tasks page and click on the submission ID# to open its page. Scroll down to the now green Assigned reviewers section.
Reviewers have three recommendations that they can make about the submission: Accepted, contingent upon approved revision Declined, but recommend to rework and resubmit Declined Note: there is no Accepted outright option.
Thanking reviewers If you wish to thank your reviewers for submitting a review, there is a templated email that you can send as is or edit. Go back to your Associate/Guest Editor tasks page, and scroll down to the green Assigned reviewer section.
Accuracy in ANR publications is a primary goal. If a UC ANR specialist, advisor or staff person receives a comment or complaint about inaccuracy or other issues in an ANR peer-reviewed publication, we should not hesitate to look into the issue.
Publishing and production staff are professional editors, graphic designers and project managers who ensure your manuscript is produced as a well-organized, clear and attractive publication. This does not happen quickly.
