EDITORIAL REVIEW AND PUBLISHING · Workflow idea

Turn useful reading into articles your editors can stand behind.

Collect new items from selected reading sources and prepare them as article drafts for an editor to assess. Keep source links and context with each draft, check accuracy, originality, attribution, and audience fit, and require a content owner to approve the exact article and destination before anything is published or shared publicly.

01 / The starting point

A clear request.
A useful direction.

A newly available article or update from a reading source chosen by the editorial team

“Prepare source-informed article drafts, organize editorial decisions, and hold every public post for human approval.”
An example request · Make it specific to your team.

02 / The work

5 tasks.
One useful outcome.

Helps content teams move from selected reading to a reviewable article and coordinate decisions about where approved work may appear.

  1. Select relevant source material

    Choose reading sources and items that fit the publication’s purpose, audience, and editorial standards.

  2. Prepare an original article draft

    Organize the source material into a useful draft, preserving links and distinguishing source facts from new interpretation.

  3. Check accuracy, attribution, and reuse

    Have an editor verify important claims, quote context, attribution, originality, and permission for the intended use.

  4. Collect an explicit editorial decision

    Let an authorized reviewer approve, request changes, or reject the draft and keep its status clear.

  5. Approve each public post before release

    Require the content owner to approve the exact article, caption, audience, and destination before publishing; approve any review email recipient and wording before sending.

03 / The result

Something useful.
Something to build on.

An article draft with its source context, review status, proposed publishing details, and approval decision.

The handoff

An article draft with its source context, review status, proposed publishing details, and approval decision.

Keep in mind

A source item may be inaccurate, outdated, or unsuitable to republish, and a draft can reproduce protected wording or unsupported claims. Check the original sources, facts, attribution, and reuse rights. An authorized editor must approve the exact final content, audience, and destination before each public post; sending review or notification email also requires approval of the recipients and message.

04 / Make it yours

Set the brief.
Set the standard.

A few choices shape the work around your team.

Choose approved reading sources

Maintain a relevant source list and confirm that its material may be collected and used for the intended editorial purpose.

Set article and attribution standards

Define how drafts cite sources, handle quotations, distinguish fact from opinion, and flag uncertain information.

Create a clear review process

Agree on draft, revision, approval, and rejection states so unfinished content cannot be mistaken for approved work.

Assign editors and publishing approvers

Name who verifies each article and who approves its exact text, audience, destination, and any external review email.

Put your next idea to work.

Start with your brief. Make the process your own.
