[Journal] How To Apply Corrections To An Article

[Dan Putler]

Hi Landon,

Most academic journals have a technical editor. The technical editor
doesn't become involved until a paper has been accepted, and is in
preparation for publication. Changes are made directly by the technical
editor, but all changes are documented, and the authors have the ability
to alter the changes.
