To
begin a new publication, you should schedule a meeting
by calling 740-593-1920.
(If your publication is a revision of a project previously
done through University Publications, see the section
on "Revisions" that follows.) In preparation
for that meeting you should determine the following:
• A general idea of scope and intent, as well as
audience
• If possible, bring sample publications that are
similar to what you expect of your finished piece
• A budget figure, including account number; quantity,
delivery, and packing instructions; and date needed
Telling us you need it "ASAP" does not hasten
the project. Projects generally are accepted on a first-come,
first-served basis.

Since not
all publications are alike, the time needed to produce
them also varies. A simple, one-color flyer may be completed
in two weeks; a full-color brochure may take several months
from concept through delivery. Generally, you should allow
at least eight weeks for production of a new publication.
While publications can sometimes be produced more quickly
than the guidelines given above, a "rush" schedule
may compromise quality and increase production costs.

The
text should be submitted on a 3.5-inch diskette or Zip
disk. We accept either Macintosh or PC-compatible formats.
In addition to the computer file, provide a copy of your
document on standard white paper. Using Microsoft Word,
WordPerfect, or similar word-processing program, type
your manuscript using an easy-to-read typeface. It is
counter productive to place your manuscript into PageMaker,
Quark, or another page-composition format.
In typing your manuscript:
• Do not underline material, except what you want
in italic type
• Do not add a carriage return at the end of each
line
• Do not use a small "L" in place of the
number "1"
• Do not use the space bar to form columns—use
tabs instead; and use one space band following all punctuation.
• Include any message to the editor inside square
brackets on the line just above the text it refers to,
as follows: [front cover], [photo D here]
Your manuscript should be double-checked for accuracy
before being submitted to us. Run it through a spelling-checker
program on your computer. Make your corrections on the
diskette or Zip disk before you print it out, not on the
printout, which we use only as a back-up copy. Keep in
mind that you are ultimately responsible for the correctness
of the information in your manuscript: spelling of names,
accuracy of dates and titles, completeness of statistics,
etc.
When supplying photographs or illustrations with your
project, please be sure to put a corresponding letter
on the back of the item itself. The best way to do this
is to put the information on a label, which you then attach
to the back of the artwork. Be careful not to use a pen
and then stack the artwork before the ink is dry. Ink
on the face of a photo or illustration is almost impossible
to remove.
The information in your manuscript should be complete
and final. Additions or changes later will extend the
time needed to produce your publication. In addition,
if there are certain design aspects that must be included
in your publication (i.e., charts, graphs, logos), let
us know when you bring the job in.

When illustrations,
photographs, or extensive text (including translations, librettos,
etc.) are borrowed from another publication or secured from
external sources, you must obtain written permission from the
copyright holder (the author, artist, or publisher) and acknowledge
the source—with whatever wording the copyright holder requires—in
your own document. University Publications will require a copy
of the written permission before reproducing such materials.
