1.1 The stages of a project

Once the author has completed their part, they will hand over the content in a Word document to the DDE/AE. At this stage, the DDE/AE will most likely supply you with any content that needs adding to the Production Portal. You won’t need to tag anything in oXygen until later down the line. Further information on other documents that will be part of the Editor’s handover to you, the DPA, are given in the sub-section 1.1.7 'Documents – what to expect'.

Review handover stage

The DDE will also prepare briefs for the GMD and IMD. These briefing documents will be cross-referenced with the asset register so that each asset is clearly identified and you can add it to the portal for appropriate Rights clearances.

Note that the asset register is a working document and changes to assets, as well as additions and possibly deletions, are likely throughout the production process. You need to ensure that the asset register is kept up to date, and the DDE will make sure any additional images or interactives are briefed to the GMD and IMD.

Make sure all the information is clear about where the image has come from and who owns the copyright of the image. More about that in the next section.
