RE: Workflow

["Dauphin, William M." <william.dauphin@xxxxxxxxxx>]

On re-reading my post, some clarification is required:

>>From my POV, once authors submit their initial
drafts, they stop being "authors" and turn into "reviewers." Of course, in
real life, nothing's ever that clean, but to the greatest extent possible,
once I've got a complete draft in my (editorial) hands, I treat all the
people who provide comments as "reviewers," regardless of whether they had a
hand in authoring the original draft text.<<

I should add that I work in a corporate environment, where "authors" are
never *owners*. The documents I edit and publish are products of the
company, not of the individual who happened to create the draft. As such,
non-author reviewers have just as much -- and in many cases more --
authority <interesting word, eh?> over the text as the original writer. In
other situations, I recognize, this might not be the case, and there might
be better reason for maintaining the author/reviewer distinction throughout
the project.
