Which of the following statements does NOT describe copyediting at TLT?
-
The goal is to improve the formatting, style, and accuracy of a manuscript.
-
It follows the "5-Cs" approach: Make the copy (i) clear, (ii) correct, (iii) concise, (iv) comprehensible, and (v) consistent)
-
It follows APA formatting guidelines at all times, with no exceptions
-
Copyeditors suggest changes rather than command them
-
Changes are indicated on a manuscript using Track Changes
Correct Answer
A. It follows APA formatting guidelines at all times, with no exceptionsExplanation
The 2nd half of TLT (Q3, Q4) doesn't necessarily need to be in APA format for everything, but should in principle follow APA. For example, sections like the Book Lists in Recently Received aren't addressed in APA, so there's a bit of a unique style to those. In addition, a list of APA exceptions can be found at the TLT website.Rate this question:
