update procedure
==Procedure==
 
''Note: The following procedure is under development and is not to be relied upon at present.''
Following is our procedure for publishing issues of the journal:
<ol>
<li>Article Articles are received by the [[Omnibus Editor]].</li>
<li>The Omnibus Editor does preliminary review about suitability for publication, possible rejection.</li>
<li>The Omnibus Editor confirms that the article is previously unpublished, and that copyright clearances are provided for the text and all images submitted. Copyright release forms need to be developed.</li>
<li>Omnibus Editor performs a quick survey of sources to confirm that most necessary data is available (even if out of standard format).</li>
<li>Article is placed on list "to be edited".</li>
<li>Articles are selected from the "to be edited" list and assigned to [[Associate Editors]]. When there are insufficient Associate Editors, he may edit articles himself, though this is to be discouraged.</li>
<li>Associate Editors provide copy editing (including planting text references to illustrations and tables, if needed), write captions for photos and titles for tables as needed, confirm sources as seems necessary, and convert all to standard format (to the limits of available skill and software). In doing so, they may contact the author, but this is not required (and often not possible).</li>
