Production Process
All articles will be copyedited in accordance with EON style and may be further edited for brevity. In rare cases, if more substantive editing has been done and the copyeditor is unsure whether changes may have affected meaning, the author will be asked to review the edited file. Due to the short production schedule, proofs will not be available for review unless specifically requested.
