Submitting Your Manuscript for Publication

Written results of the work at SLAC need to be properly tracked, collected, and organized. This applies to all work done at SLAC, or work done collaboratively elsewhere using SLAC effort or resources. For more information see the Director's All-Hands memo on this topic. (NOTE: If you are submitting a revision of a manuscript that has already been posted to the web, please follow the instructions at Submitting a Revision of Your Manuscript.)

There are four basic steps in submitting your manuscript for publication at SLAC:

1. Register your manuscript
2. Format and name your electronic file
3. Submit your files to TechPubs
4. Notify TechPubs of your submission

These steps are described in more detail here:

1. Register your manuscript (obtain a SLAC document number) through the idoc online registration system

2. Format and name your electronic file
   Your electronic file (PDF, Word or LaTeX) should include all graphics, figures, and tables needed to print correctly. In some cases, you may have multiple electronic files for a single manuscript. In this case, name your files using the document number in the name and appropriate extension (.ps, .pdf, .doc, .eps, and so on). For example, slac-pub-nnnn_1.ps, slac-pub-nnnn_2.ps.
