Publications that appear beneath the UME banner should reflect the highest standards of excellence possible. That not only includes the scholarship and research that led to their development but the attention to detail that is necessary for effective publishing. All of our publications must meet certain standards in order to be prepared for both printed and online formats. This includes federally-mandated accessibility regulations as well as University-mandated statements. The majority of the latter are found within the UME publication templates and are added to a document during the publication process. Others are the responsibility of the author(s) who develop the drafts. With that in mind, the UME Publications Team has developed these Publications Guidelines. Each submission to the FastTrack system should follow these guidelines in order to make the review, editing, and publishing process as smooth as possible.
