The handoff

A formatted article draft with its supporting sources and uncertainties visible, awaiting editorial approval before external publication.

Keep in mind

Research summaries may be outdated, incomplete, or misleading, and polished writing can make unsupported claims sound certain. Check significant statements against original sources, preserve attribution, review rights and audience, and require an editor to approve the complete article before it is published or distributed externally.
