2012 Editorial Publishing Policy

The following is our standard editorial and publishing policy. After we receive your proposed article, our editorial department will review it for publication consideration. If deemed acceptable, we will then edit it to:

• Maintain LIMRA style
• Ensure correct grammar, spelling, etc.
• Ensure clarity of concepts, article flow, and organization
• Reduce wordiness (if necessary)
• Limit excessive author and/or company self promotion (e.g., an obvious “sells pitch” pertaining to your company’s products or services)
• Modify for length where necessary

You will receive at least one review version of the edited LIMRA article prior to it being sent for design lay out.
We understand the need for your company to review any changes made by LIMRA’s editorial staff, and we will work with you to ensure that compliance-related changes are reworded appropriately to the satisfaction of both parties. We encourage all authors to submit their proposed articles to any internal company review process before articles are submitted to our editorial team.

Once Articles Are Published

If the article is printed in LIMRA’s MarketFacts Quarterly,

• It will also be available online for full viewing to LIMRA membership on our Web site
• You will receive three complimentary copies of the publication in which your article appears. Authors and their companies they work for can purchase additional copies by contacting LIMRA.
• You can also purchase straight-as-your article appears or customized reprints for business or personal distribution purposes. Purchase arrangements can be made with LIMRA once the article appears in print.
