Journal editors and multiauthored book editors send accepted manuscripts directly to the publisher. Authors of monographs interact directly with the publisher, generally through an acquisitions editor. Accepted manuscripts go through three phases before publication technical editing, proofing and review by the author, and correction by the publisher. 

Consult a dictionary to resolve hyphenation questions. Merriam-Webster s Collegiate Dictionary and Webster s New World College Dictionary are the desk dictionaries used by the ACS technical editing staff. ACS staff also use the unabridged Webster s Third New International Dictionary.
