    TLT is divided up into four quarters. What is the main reason why? 

    • To facilitate readability

    • To facilitate production

    • No real reason

    • To reduce production costs

    • Because three are not enough and five are too many

    Correct Answer
    A. To facilitate production
    Explanation
    Dividing TLT up into quarters does help people read the journal in that it keeps content organized, but the main reason we have it this way is to make production easier. For example, the quarter system comes up a lot during the copyediting and proofreading stages of production.

    Rate this question:

  • 5. 

    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 exceptions
    Explanation
    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.
