CREATIVE
CONTRIBUTION
Amphibian and Reptile Conservation encourages creative input by editors and
authors
Proofs and Preproofs can be
produced by the ARC, or by the articles authors, under the oversight of the articles
editor.
The layout of articles will
follow a standard format. However, the ARC will encourages innovation by both authors and editors
in article layout, design and content through the use of their institutional logos, alternative
fonts, colour, and the creative use of text and comments boxes and video.
Advantages:
If authors produce preproofs and
proofs publication fees are lowered by 50%.
Learning this technique is very
valuable as it provides skills for the production of books, articles, newsletters, etc. very easily
and efficiently.
The creative contribution of
authors or editors makes articles more exciting, accessible, and interesting.
Preproof and proof
production
We use MS Publisher as our
production program as it is readily available in all regions. The production of proofs takes an
experienced person about 30 minutes a page.
