Information for Editors of ACS Symposium Series VolumesThe ACS Symposium Series offers a vehicle for rapid publication of strong, technical reference books developed from symposia. A critical variable in the success of an ACS Symposium Series volume is the editor’s ability to balance both the technical quality of the volume and the timeliness of publication. The editor, authors, and ACS Books staff work as partners throughout the publication process to achieve a high quality product published in a short timeframe: approximately twelve months after the meeting. During the editorial phase of the volume, the editor’s primary responsibilities are to obtain the draft manuscripts, conduct the peer review process, ensure the author addresses the peer review in an appropriate fashion, check the final camera-ready manuscript for any technical, grammatical or typographical errors, and forward the revised, camera-ready manuscript to ACS Books in a timely fashion. ACS Books staff sends each author a package of information about the planned publication, including information on deadlines, contacts, and information on how to prepare the camera-ready manuscript. We also check the camera-ready manuscripts for formatting problems related to consistency and homogeneity of appearance and contact the authors directly regarding any format problems.
