Yeej ntawm editing cov phau ntawv txoj kev kawm ntawv kev kawm

Los sis:"beginner txoj kev qhia herding miv".

Xav txog qhov scenario: koj yog ib tus paub txog txoj kev kawm ntawv, nyob rau hauv ib qhov kev tshawb fawb tibneeg hu tauj coob lub koom haum thiab jib yog caw los hloov phau ntawv, tab sis cia ntawm siab uas ua hauj lwm; ces pheej yuav qhia tau tias nws yuav zoo rau koj CV. Koj pom zoo, nws yuav zoo rau koj CV, yog li koj kuas nyuas siv zug kheej editing koj sau tej ntaub ntawv kawm science thawj phau.

Li ntawd, vim li ntawd yog ib qho teeb meem?

Tau sau phau ntawv txog board

Koj xav tau tus neeg sau rau tshooj uas hais zoo. Koj Google tej cov kws txawj big-name thiab caw lawv pab txhawb ib tshooj rau koj phau ntawv. Lawv tsis kam yuav luag txhua, los yog tsis teb koj tus email nrog lus. Tab sis npog, dog dig rau koj amazement, pom ib tug. Txawm li cas los, no paragon ntawm kev kawm ces yeej tsis, puas replies los twg yav tom ntej. Li ntawd, koj txo koj lub sights thiab tsom rau zaum zoo, tab sis tsis Nobel nqi zog winners. Thaum kawg, koj yuav tau txaus sau phau ntawv ua ke los sau ntawv rau tshooj uas hais ib ncig lub npe tias tus publishers tau muab koj – phew!

Tau sau phau ntawv pom zoo lub sijhawm

Piv txwv tias yog nws no tsis yog tsis yog zoo caij, sawv daws yuav so feem ntau yog hais txog lub sijhawm teeb. Txawm li cas los, kev xwb yuab tiag tiag yog:

Kom lawv mus raws li sijhawm.

1. Qhov no yuav tsum yooj yim, txoj cai? Zaum no grown-up, kev cob qha cov neeg. Lawv tsis? Qhov tshij, tsawm tsawv thiab. Nyob hauv kev muaj tiag, academics feem ntau tshaj kuas nyuas siv zug kom lawv, ua neej xwb tsis tshawb xyuas thiab qhia, tab sis tam sim no thiab sau qhov nyiaj pab kev siv nyiaj, ntaub ntawv, xyuas, phau ntawv chapters, etc, yam. thaum kawg no, nqe lus scientific lub hom phiaj yog "luam tawm tsab los yog tau damned."
2. Raws li tus deadlines mus past – "wooshh", ib yam li kis tsheb, ib nrab koj cais tau xa lawv chapters, tas tsis. Tam sim no tuaj ib pliag nplaum – tej no yog meant yuav tej ntug kev xyuas. Xeev-rau-tus-daim duab. Tab sis cov no qeeb ziag no txhais tau hais tias yog tus sau phau ntawv 'zoo' ua haujlwm loj yog xeeb nws muag hnub. Koj yuav tsum tau mus nkag rov qab rau lawv kom tshiab. Uas lawv muaj feem ntau tsis dhau heev tsis zoo siab txog, tab sis, koj ntxub tsis tau ntawm lub ntsej muag.
3. Ib tug ntau tshaj plaws uas kuv tsis nco qab los pav; raws li cov editor, koj yuav tsum nyeem cov chapters. Tuaj tseem, koj yuav tsum ua cogent critiques – seb tus sau xav ntxiv, tshem tawm, nthuav los sis ua ntawv cog lus. Txawm yog hais tias lub npe rau lub fringe ntawm koj lub ntsiab kev tshaj lij.

Ua li cas yog hais tias tus sau phau ntawv mus AWOL?

Koj yuav ua dab tsi thaum koj cais ib tug txiav txim tias lawv tsis mus sau lawv lub Hmong Translation Tshooj? Txhob cias sej, tsis raws cai deadlines, tab sis tsis txhob muaj kev sib txuas lus rau tag nrho. Ploj tawm ntawm daim ntawv qhia. So, tam sim no koj nyob nraum nyam – nrhiav lwm tus sau(s) – ncua ntxiv – sau ntawv hauv tshooj no koj tus kheej? – tiam sis nws tseem deb sab nraumLi ntawdoj cheeb tsam ntawm koj tus kheej kev txawj ntse. So, nws thiaj li, koj pom lwm tus. Uas txhais tau hais tias tsis tau qeeb tshaj.

Sau koj tus kheej Tshooj

Auj, yog, koj tsis nco qab tias koj pom zoo sau ib qho rau tshooj uas hais koj tus kheej. Oops. Huag zoo, tsis muaj teeb meem. Muab tus nqi authorship ib qhov ntawm koj kawm PhD – lawv mam li yuav ntog lawm kom lawv tau txais lwm cov ntawv qhia rau lawv CV. Los sis tej zaum tsis: tsis muaj, lawv yuav tsis xav tiam; obviously suspecting (thwj) tias koj taw yog kom lawv sau tag nrho cov khoom, then submit the chapter to you for a little light editorial polishing.

Pleading nrog lub publishers rau cov sij hawm ntau

1. Koj tam sim no tuav cov ntaub ntawv dubious rau lub coos hnub sij hawm sau tej kev kawm ntawv uas nyob rau hauv tib neeg cov keeb kwm, excluding daim ntawv Vajtswv.
2. ' Thov, sir, Kuv xav tau ib txhia ntxiv.'
3. Tus publishers yuav tsis impressed, tab sis, ntsiag to resigned, qhia rau koj kom ploj mus thiab los rov qab thaum koj ua tau raws li lub sijhawm uas koj tshiab.

Poob koj moj bis thiab muab txhua nrho

Nws yog txhua yam noj ntev heev – cais dhau ob peb tau xa ntawv los thawj uas lawv chapters. You start to get desperate – the original deadline was so long ago that you’ve forgotten it – the “new” deadline is also now history. You consider giving the whole thing up – apologise to the authors and the publishers and say the book can’t be finished. But your co-editor and the authors who have delivered on time are indignant – naturally enough they don’t want to see their work wasted – and insist that you go back to the recalcitrant scientists with a big stick. How do you threaten authors with a stick by email? Or by phone? Txawm li cas los, a combination of the metaphorical big stick, pleas for mercy and piling on the guilt eventually work and all the chapters are delivered! Hooray.

Hooray!

Li ntawd, now, you’re on the last lap. Or the last dregs – the soul-destroying process of assembling the index and proofreading. Once, a sub-editor with a scientific background might have written an index, but not now. Academic publishers want their pound of flesh, so this task is delegated to authors and editors. Authors select keywords from their chapters, with varying degrees of enthusiasm or accuracy, then the editor attempts to assemble them into something useful to the reader. Thaum kawg, a draft proof arrives by email. You are now heartily sick of every word, but a final spurt of enthusiasm drives you on and the book is finished.

One more thing – did I forget? – you don’t get paid – but you are given a few free copies of your own book. Such fun!
