Manuscript Title Change
Manuscript title changing is done manually, so I encourage people NOT to change the title of a manuscript in any way whatsoever. But for cases of typos in the original etc., please follow the instructions on this page and use this form.
Note that this page is not for resubmitting an updated manuscript where the title hasn't changed. See the FAQ for information how to do that.
Step 1: Check the date. Title changes can't be made within two days of the Wednesday the manuscript is scheduled to be sent out.
Step 2: Submit your new manuscript as new, using the usual means (email, web form, etc.). It should have the new title you want (which is different than the old one, or you wouldn't be using this page :-). Do not mark it as a resubmission; it should appear to be a brand new queue submission.
Step 3: Fill out this form:
Ok! You'll hear back from the Critter Captain when he's made the change. Might be a few days, even as long as a week. (Name changes aren't high priorities since they only need to be done before the manuscript is sent out.)
