The copy editing phase aims to improve the fluency, comprehensibility, grammatical structure, word selection and format of the article. This is the last opportunity for the author to make significant changes to his article; because in the next step, only the corrections regarding the string and format will be made. Since the file to be copied is in MS Word or .rtf file format, it can be easily edited as a word processing document. Two approaches for corrections are suggested here. The first is to use the "Track Changes" feature of the MS Word program. However, when this path is chosen, the author, copy editor and editor should be able to access the program. The second proposed system is independent of software and was taken here with the permission of Harward Educational Review. The editor of the journal can change these instructions to make them more suitable for the journal's own functioning.
Copy editing systems
1. When the "Track Changes" feature of MS Word and the "Track Changes" feature under Tools in the menu bar is activated, the copy editor can make the changes it deems necessary. The text he adds is shown in a different color, the places he removed are strikethrough, colored or deleted in the margin. The copy editor can write whatever he/she wants to ask the author or editor in square brackets. The document passing through the copy editor is uploaded to the system to be forwarded to the editor. The editor reviews the text and presents it to the author's opinion. The editor and the author approve the corrections they see fit and bring them to their normal form, they can change if they want, or make new additions or subtractions in different colors. If there are questions in square brackets in the text, the author and editor must answer these questions in the relevant brackets. The copy editor reviews the text that has been reviewed by the writer and editor one more time, confirms the changes and makes it ready for the text page editing and typesetting phase. 2.
