Tekijätoimituksessa

Tekijätoimituksessa, often translated as "author's editing" or "editorial revisions by the author," refers to a stage in the publishing process where the author reviews and revises a manuscript after it has undergone initial editorial work. This typically occurs after the manuscript has been typeset and formatted into a preliminary version of the final publication, such as proofs or galleys.

The purpose of tekijätoimituksessa is for the author to catch any errors that may have been introduced during the typesetting or layout process, as well as to make minor adjustments to wording or phrasing that might have been overlooked or misunderstood in earlier editorial stages. It is not intended for significant content revisions, additions, or deletions, as these can be costly and time-consuming at this late stage. Authors are generally expected to focus on correcting typos, grammatical errors, punctuation mistakes, and ensuring factual accuracy.

This phase is crucial for maintaining the integrity of the text and ensuring that the published work accurately reflects the author's intentions. Publishers usually provide specific guidelines for authors regarding the scope of permissible changes during tekijätoimituksessa and may impose deadlines for the return of revised proofs. Failure to adhere to these guidelines can lead to delays or additional costs. The process ensures a final quality check by the original creator before the work is sent to print or made available digitally.
