摘要：Why this editorial about copy editing and formatting, only three years after our 2016editorial [1] on copy editing in IIER 26(3)? It's because we should share with authors andreaders some additional perspectives, especially relating to the last month workloadpreceding the publication of a new issue of IIER, which for us is dominated by copyediting and formatting activities. To illustrate the time frame for 'the last month', IIER29(4) contains articles for which the submission date range was 18 November 2018 to 29April 2019 (about 5 months), and the acceptance date range was 8 March to 28 August2019 (about 6 months). The next major stage in publishing 29(4), copy editing andformatting, commenced with the receipt of revised versions of accepted articles, for whichthe date range was 30 May to 21 September 2019. Although this period was about 4months, receipts were mostly (14 of 20) in August-September, and consequently our copyediting and formatting for 29(4) became concentrated into 'the last month', September.Thus, September became a peak workload month.
