If you are in doubt as to which course to follow, consult with the ACPA Media Board Editor. After you submit the revised draft and then the final manuscript, you must focus on the copyediting and production process. You may need to ask contributors for missing data or for clarification of some material, but avoid returning the copyedited chapters to them. In any event, make sure that you retain the original edited copy. Give each contributor a firm deadline for supplying answers to queries and follow up as necessary to obtain the information in a timely manner.
Deadlines are extremely important in the editorial and production stages.
If ACPA misses due dates, there may be considerable delays before these suppliers can reschedule the work. A professional proofreader will read the second proofs against the copyedited manuscript. Production quality camera-ready copy is then produced. The book will be printed from camera-ready copy. It is ACPA policy not to deal directly with contributors to edited collections because of the delays and complications that would result.
