The handoff

A structured article draft with a proposed title and source document available for an editor to verify before publication.

Keep in mind

A polished draft can still omit qualifications, introduce unsupported claims, or expose material that was not intended for a public audience. Confirm permission to use the document, compare important claims with the source, check attribution and privacy, and require an editor to approve the exact article and destination before publishing.
