Editorial Submission Process

To submit your documents for editing, follow these steps:

  1. Email your documents as attachments to [email protected]
  2. Provide the following:
    • Project charge number
    • Requested deadline for the first edit to be returned to you
    • Final deadline
    • Special instructions to the editor, if applicable
  3. Include the following:
    • Exhibits 1 and 2 for all works scopes. Exhibits are spreadsheets showing the project schedule and project budget. Exhibits are required for a scope to be approved by the MPO board or client.
    • Figures and tables not included in the Microsoft Word file with memoranda and reports, including full page figures and tables and landscape figures and tables
    • All attachments for memoranda
    • All appendices for reports

When determining the deadline for the first edit, allow 30 minutes per page of material. After the first edit is returned to you, additional time will be required for you to review the edits and work with the editor to resolve editorial comments. Factor in time for subsequent rounds of editing, particularly if the assignment is lengthy.

The Editorial team will return your assignment as quickly as possible. Be aware that the team may request extra time if other assignments are in the pipeline. In that case, the editor will work with you to revise deadlines.

Always feel free to contact the Editorial team if you need to discuss deadlines for your project.
