What is the difference between a committee technical editor and the IEEE project editor?
The technical editor is a member of the committee or working group. While separate committee members may write a portion of the draft standard, the technical editor’s job is to review the standard globally and ensure technical consistency and accuracy. The project editor is a member of the IEEE standards staff and does not necessarily have a technical background. The project editor and the technical editor work together closely before and after the document is approved to achieve a sound standard. While the project editor can provide comments or suggestions to the committee based on technical items in the standard, he or she cannot make technical changes. Project editors make grammatical, structural, and stylistic changes that do not modify the meaning or the technical integrity of the document.
