English 5387: Publications Management - Progress Posting 10
Question: As you begin moving towards the production (delivery) phase of your single-sourcing projects, what items are on your 'punch list' or 'hit list'. Be as detailed as possible and list at least a dozen items.
1. Check all links and linked text. These should be functional and properly styled. No punctuation should be included in the link text.
2. Check the order of the sections to confirm that each section flows properly. Sections that do not seem to be placed properly at this time include the Just Accepted Manuscripts section, the Online Publication section, and perhaps the intellectual property information.
3. Confirm styling and order of internal navigation links. This is of special concern if I move sections around for improved flow.
4. Double check that both documents contain all the same information and that nothing has been left out of either document.
5. Ensure that the presentation and flow is appropriate for each type of deliverable. They do not need to be the same as long as all the information is present.
6. Ensure that I achieved the appropriate level of interactivity for each deliverable -- for the printer-friendly deliverable, linked text is not appropriate, and I need to include the web link information in parenthesis next to what would be linked text in the HTML deliverable.
7. Double check that the CSS is properly linking and that all components are uploaded and functional.
8. Add a link for the printer-friendly version to the HTML deliverable. The printer-friendly version needs to be easily accessible from the HTML deliverable. For our company viewpoint, we have been trying to drive users to the HTML to limit printing and waste of paper and also to enhance the author experience via functional links. Therefore, the main link should be to the HTML deliverable with a secondary link to the printable deliverable.
9. Do last minute editing scans. Make sure that all references to Article say Article, Letter say Letter, etc.
10. Check display of both deliverables on multiple internet browsers and on both Mac and PC.
11. Format print deliverable as PDF to ensure cheap and easy accessibility.
12. Find acceptable substitute graphics to take place of copyrighted company logos. I cannot use the company logos for school work. If nothing seems to be appropriate, replace logos with text.
13. Do Accessibility scan through W3C webpage.
