How We Copy Edit
Your document is edited using the Track Changes feature in Microsoft Word ®. This allows you to view corrections easily and accept or reject any or all recommended changes.

You will be sent two different electronic versions of your document via e-mail. In addition, you will be sent a separate ‘comments’ document which will contain recommendations and feedback from our editor. The documents returned to you will be as follows:
- Edited Version – This will be a clean copy of your document containing all the changes implemented and will be ready to submit or publish.
