Archive:VOCJ53 Proofcheck
We need to check VOCJ53 before Kathrin submits it to the publishers. This is our last chance to make corrections - we receive a proof back from Hemlock, but that is for us to check for their errors not ours. This must be done in 1 day - Thursday - as Kathrin must make corrections Thursday night before submission on Friday.
What to check for, how to do it
In principle all the editing is done. We are not checking for grammar/spelling - we are checking for typesetting errors. Replace the "volunteer needed" with your name, do it, and then put any discrepancies down here on the wiki. Write both the page number(s) and the error.
Sections/things which need checking (and volunteers to do it)
Check page numbers
volunteer still needed
- all pages are in order and correctly numbered
Check table of contents
Veenstra will do it
- Does title/author match for each article in TOC and on the article itself
- Is the page reference correct
- Is the article in the right section (don't nitpick - just looking for mistakes, not choices you don't agree with)
Check the following sections
- Does the text make sense? The text may be in the wrong order, especially across pages.
- Do photo captions make sense?
- Are photos/illustrations matched with the correct article? (except colour photos, which are all printed in the same place to save money)
