The preview editing phase is aimed to scan plagiarism as well as improve the fluency, clarity, grammar structure, word selection and appropriate format of the article. This is the last opportunity for authors to the necessary changes in their article, because, only sorting and formative corrections will be done after this stage. The file that will be primarily edited can easily be edited as a word processing document since it is formatted in MS Word or .rtf file. Two approaches are proposed here for primary editing. The first is to use the "Track Changes" feature of the MS Word program. However, the author, the preview editor and the editor of the journal must be able to access the program during this process. The second proposed system is to bring individuality to the article and accepted the research work in accordance with Harvard Educational Review. By modifying these instructions, the editor of this journal can make it to its own publication style.
Preview editing systems
1. The preview editor can do the necessary changes with the "Track Changes" feature of MS Word. The "Track Changes" feature can be found under Tools in the Menu bar. The attached texts are shown as erased or coloured at the margins with different colours and with the cross lines. Preview editors can write in the brackets (3rd brackets) if they have any questions or comments for the author or editor. The edited document from the preview editor will be uploaded in the system after forwarding it to the editor. The editor will check the text and send it to the author. The editor and author will approve the corrections if they agree with the changes, then they will arrange it, change it, or if necessary, they will do new changes and add new comments in different colours. If there are any questions in the brackets (3rd brackets), the author and editor should answer these questions in their respective brackets. After the author and the editor review and confirm the necessary changes, the reviewed copy will be rechecked by the preview editor one more time and the text will be considered as ready for final editing and sorting.
2. Please follow the instructions below to do electronic editing on the drafted article with the Harvard Educational Review method: Respond to proposed changes -If you approve the proposed changes, change the text from bold to normal. If you do not approve the proposed changes, retype the original text and make them bold. Addition and deduction -Please make the newly added part with bold font. Please mark the text you want to delete as like as the following brackets: [text to be deleted] Please add a note to the field if you delete a sentence or more text. Example: [2 sentences have been deleted: the text that will be deleted] Commenting or answering the questions for the author Please do not change or delete the questions to the author. Leave the text in bold font. Add your comments as the answers from the author [author's note:] at the end of the questions. Example: [Author’s note: The methodology discussion has been expanded as you suggested.] Making a comment Please use the Comment section to do changes to your article or reorganization as well as for major revisions. Example, [Comment: The above paragraph has been moved from page no. 5 to page no. 7]
Note: Please use the page numbers of the printed copy to give a page number as because the page numbers may change during electronic processing.
An example of electronic editing:
The file preview editor of the journal will inscribe and edit the article in terms of fluency, clarity, grammar, and word choice and then will make the questions for the author with the necessary points. The completed article with this initial preview and edits will be uploaded onto the web page of the journal. A note will also be sent to the author for reviewing the article.
Editing file from the author The author should check the editor’s reviews on the article and do the necessary changes before making major rearrangements to the format and structure of the completed original article. If the author finds the changes from review editing appropriate, he/she must approve the changes and answer all the questions from review editors. Authors can reject if he/she does not find the change appropriate. After doing this necessary change, the author should rename the file from ‘Author’s nameQA.doc’ to ‘Author’s nameQAR.doc’ (Example: instead of ‘LeeQA.doc’, it will be ‘LeeQAR.doc’) and should upload the file on journal’s web page.
The final stage of preview editing The preview editor of the journal will approve the author's changes and prepare the final copy integrating the answers with the text. The page editor will notify the editor for completing the format after uploading the latest edition of the article on the journal web page.
