Instructions for Use

Article Routing Form

This sheet is attached to laser proofs as they are routed for proofreading. The form begins with the editing process

and ends with the proof of the final design. You will want to customize this sheet to fit your needs.

A routing sheet may include the following elements:

• The name of the article, author, issue date, originating editor.

• The names of those who will proof the article. The names should be listed in order of the routing sequence. There

should be a space beside each name to check when the task has been completed, or to indicate a date. This list

should appear on the sheet three times to correspond to each of the passes. However, the list may change with each

pass, since at each stage you may need fewer people checking the copy.

• A checklist for the final pass so that the last proofreader can check the list for all typographic details such as folios,

art credits, date of issue, end boxes, spelling of authors’ and artists’ names, etc.
