Your project will be assigned to one of our designers who will be your contact during the design, editing, and printing processes. Please e-mail final copy, photos, and graphics to sdchaney@uoregon.edu. >>Back to Top Manuscript Preparation Your manuscript should be as accurate and complete as possible. Changes made at later stages become progressively more costly. All of the elements that are to appear on the printed piece should be submitted with the text, including photo captions, a return address, photographs, and artwork Electronic Manuscripts The following guidelines have been developed to lead you through the process of submitting your manuscript electronically. Never send an original file. Always keep at least one copy of each file. Label any disks you send with your name, department, and phone number or extension. Do not format electronic copy except for embedded bold and italic text. Check spelling before submitting the electronic document. Give us only the files relevant to the job. Submit all text in one file. Revising Existing Publications If the changes are relatively minor, you can make them directly on a clean copy of your printed publication and submit that to publications as your manuscript. If the changes are more complex, submit new copy electronically following the guidelines outlined above. >>Back to Top Publication Timelines Quick Copy (black laser print or color lasers) From receipt of new copy (or changes), photos (if applicable), and Quick Copy order form at publications office to distribution or delivery: 2 to 7 weeks (depending on complexity)
