Although we proof the galleys simultaneously with the authors, it is their responsibility to read their article carefully and notify us of necessary corrections. We willingly incorporate corrections that stem from our errors, but at this stage we cannot make substantial changes just because the author wants to reword the original. Once the galleys come back to us, we make final corrections and send them back to Neil for final revision. A month or so later, the issue is in the mail. HO does not provide offprints of articles.
Authors receive an extra copy of the journal to be used to photocopy their article.
I hope you now have a better sense of the life and times of an HO manuscript. Instructions for submitting your manuscript appear on the inside back cover of each issue. Detailed guidelines will appear in the upcoming Fall 1999 issue.
