 Editing
What
we do:
First, we'll edit the manuscript using
Microsoft Word's "track changes" function, then we'll return an edited version to
you for your review.
What
you do:
Allot yourself time to go over the changes and recommendations that we've suggested.
There may be instances where you need to research something further,
such as a date referenced inconsistently in your document or the
correct use of a term specific to your area. As you review our changes, accept or reject them using
your track changes tool, and add information to the text as necessary.
When you're finished, send the completed
edited version back to Prima Proof for any further services you
requested.
I'm ready! What do
I do next?

 Citation
Style Support
What
we do:
Once the document has been edited, we'll correct citation problems on the reference list and in the text
using Microsoft Word's "track changes" function. We will also check for consistency between the reference list and the in-text citations, and we will note any discrepancies. We will probably have questions, and you may need to look up or verify some journal
numbers, page numbers, dates, or authors' names.The editors at Prima Proof are not able to verify this
information for you, as you are the expert in your area and
are most familiar with the literature.
Please note, the editors at Prima Proof are
not able to identify instances where a citation should have been
included but was not.
What
you do:
Allow yourself time to review both the reference list and the
text for our changes and questions. Any needed information, such as journal
numbers, volume numbers, page numbers, correct spelling of the
authors' names, order of authors' names, dates of publication, etc.
will be clearly indicated. You will need to review your literature
sources to verify what's needed, insert the necessary information
at the appropriate place and in the appropriate style (both will
be clearly indicated), and accept or reject the changes using your
track changes tool. When you're finished, send the completed reference
list back to Prima Proof for incorporation into your document.

[A
Prima Proof transcriber] has transcribed a number of tapes for me.
I've always found her to be conscientious, responsive, efficient,
timely, and cost effective. She's also a very pleasant person. I recommend
her highly.
