Steps
- The SCC downloads the submission files from OMP and opens them in Word, verifying that they are formatted in accord with the submission guidelines, i.e.:
- The file is formatted as DOCX (not DOC; the SCC may convert the file from another format if needed).
- All images have been removed (but image placement is marked in the text by a caption or other means).
- The works cited list has been included in the main chapter file (and not as a separate file).
- Within the Atla Google Drive, the SCC navigates to Atla Open Press > Books Editorial Board > Volumes in Progress and creates a folder under the title of the new volume. (This may have to be placed within a series folder as well if the new volume is part of a series.)
- The SCC right-clicks the volume folder, clicks Share, and adds the liaison editor and volume editor(s) (if applicable). (The SCC should also verify that permissions for the editor-in-chief, copy editor, layout editor, and SCDPM have carried over from the main Press folder.)
- Within the volume folder, the SCC creates a folder titled "Front Matter," a folder titled "Back Matter," and a folder for each chapter titled in the format "AUTHOR_SHORTTITLE", where 'AUTHOR' is the author's surname (with additional authors hyphenated behind) and 'SHORTTITLE' is a one- or two-word abbreviation of the title.
- The SCC right-clicks each chapter folder, clicks Share, and adds the author(s), as well as any translator(s). (The SCC should also verify that permissions for the liaison editor, volume editor(s), editor-in-chief, copy editor, layout editor, and SCDPM have carried over from the main volume folder.)
- Within each chapter folder, the SCC clicks New, clicks File Upload, selects all downloaded submission files relevant to the chapter (including images, tables, etc.), and clicks Open.
- For each uploaded Word doc, the SCC:
- right-clicks the file in Google Drive, clicks Open with, and selects Google Docs;
- within Google Docs, clicks File > Save as Google Docs;
- verifies that the Google Doc version of the document accurately reflects the content of the original .docx file open in Word;
- removes the uploaded .docx from the Google Drive (right-click > Remove);
- right-clicks the remaining Google Doc file, clicks Rename, and names the file in the format "AUTHOR_SHORTTITLE", where 'AUTHOR' is the author's surname (with additional authors hyphenated behind) and 'SHORTTITLE' is a one- or two-word abbreviation of the title.
- The SCC posts a message in the relevant OMP discussion board for each uploaded chapter, stating that the chapter is ready for editing in Google Docs and providing a link to the chapter folder.
- The SCC creates a new Google Doc in the "Back Matter" folder and populates it with submitted author bios in alphabetical order.
