All quotations
here have to
be converted
to single
quotation

Quotation
from Gilbert
and Gubar
are corrected
to single
quotation.
However,
when they
quote
Hopkins, i.e.
quotation
within
quotation is
in double
quotation.
The fullstop
will always be
before
quotation
mark and
superscript.
Here this
needs to be
corrected.

In case of block
quotation select
the passage and
go to lay out to
see how much
has been
indented on
both sides. It
should be 0.5
on both sides.
Here it is
correct.
If it is more than
0.5 cm, as it is
here, click on the
small arrows
beside 1.03 or 0.5
to reduce or
increase the
indentation.
Check whether
all paragraphs,
barring the first
and those after
sub-headings,
are indented 5
spaces from the
margin. If not,
correct them.
Here it is
correct.
In block
quotations space
in between lines
should be 1.0.
Here it is double
and needs to be
corrected.
RESOLVED. Also, the
fullstop after 15 has
been brought before
the superscript.
The paragraph after
sub-heading has
been wrongly
indented.
RESOLVED
The author
wrongly wrote
Works Cited. It

RESOLVED
The copy-editor will
bring notes to single
spacing. Authors keep
double-spacing.
RESOLVED. Also,
the author did not
put stops at the
end of notes. They
have been added.
This author is
correct in the style
of citation of books
and journals. But
she has not given
the date of access
for a web source.
The editor may put
the date on which
he is working
instead of asking
the author when
time is short. We
do not write Web
or Print as source.
The copy-editor
also has to remove
hyperlink and turn
the source font to
Times New Roman
and change the
colour from blue
to black and
remove underline.
