Although there is no page limitation, authors should be concise. The volume editor or the author is responsible for the costs of drafting, film work, and printing of all plates. Please consult with the GSA books department staff as early as possible regarding questions about the maximum size of and the appropriate form in which to submit plates as well as estimated printing costs. The volume editors are responsible for obtaining two reviews for each manuscript. Reviewers should be knowledgeable in the field but not associated with the project.
Reviewers can critique more than one paper.
The volume editors return the manuscript with the reviewers' comments and their additional recommendations to the authors for revision. Authors send the revisions, along with a description of their handling of the reviewers' comments, to the volume editors. Once the volume editors approve the revisions and the manuscripts are retyped if necessary, one copy of the volume is sent to the Books Science Editor along with a diskette that matches each manuscript and photocopies of all figures. Originals of the illustrations should be held by the authors until requested by the books department staff in Boulder. The Books Science Editor checks over the manuscript.
