Editorial review of yearbook manuscripts
Editing and proofreading the yearbook manuscript is to "process" the contents of the entries according to the specifications and requirements of the yearbook. Entries are independent information units that record objective things with the theme of annual facts and materials, and are the basic constituent units of yearbooks. The word "year" reflects the annual nature of the yearbook, "taking facts and materials as the theme" reflects that the yearbook items are different from other reference books, and "objective things" refers to the objectivity of the record object-people, things or things. Yearbooks are also called "local encyclopedias", "data sets" and "literature sets", which embodies the comprehensiveness and comprehensiveness of yearbooks. However, the integrity of the yearbook is not all-encompassing, but full focus, full features and full choice. Yearbooks can't exhaust all the data and information, only remember the big ones, record the important ones, strengthen the key points and dilute the general ones.

(1) Project Material Selection Specification

? The purpose of topic selection should be to meet the needs of retrieval. Starting from the readers' retrieval will and habits, try to choose the topics that readers are generally concerned about, which have relatively high retrieval rate and can be retrieved independently, and exclude the topics that cannot be retrieved and are difficult to retrieve. For example, work measures, self-construction, team building, social services, strengthening publicity, business development, internal management, service control, responsibility assessment, infrastructure, etc., which have no independent retrieval significance, are called dead columns. In the overall design of the three-level category, subtitle and item framework of the general yearbook, it is not only beneficial to reflect the regional characteristics, but also to arrange the specific materials that should be listed in detail according to the actual situation.

Adding dynamic items after regular items can improve the effective information content of yearbook items and accumulate mature materials for local chronicles. Classify the development contents that best reflect the characteristics of the region and this year, reflect the characteristics and annual nature of yearbook information, and optimize the regional reference value of yearbook.

(B) the principle of project selection

? Entries are the main carriers of dynamic information reflected in yearbooks. We should choose the required items from the complicated annual information and follow the following principles. 1. Once a year. First of all, we should focus on what happened in the year of the system or field, from 65438+ 10/to 65438+February 3 1, which generally does not span the New Year. If the development of a thing spans several years, we can choose the important situation of the year when the event is developing to record. Sometimes, according to the needs of the yearbook function, it can be traced back or postponed appropriately to reflect the whole picture of the recorded things. 2. authenticity. When choosing a topic, we should grasp whether the selected content is true and reliable, which is the key point to enhance the authority of the yearbook. If the selected items are inconsistent with the facts, the yearbook will be discredited by readers, which will do great harm to the yearbook and lead to misleading consequences. 3. continuity. Yearbooks are generally published once a year. To fully reflect the situation of a system and a field, it is necessary to set up some necessary items every year to give full play to the vertical and horizontal comparability of the yearbook. Embodied in comprehensive items (usually referring to routine items), the elements contained are basically the same, so it can be written as a paradigm when soliciting contributions; For a single item, the same time can also be continuously reflected year by year, so that through the comparison of the same title or the same event content (that is, the same item content) in the same yearbook in different years, we can see the whole process of the development and change of a cause or something in a period. This is also in line with the style of local chronicles and accumulates materials for the compilation of continued chronicles. 4. systematize. When choosing a topic, we should pay attention to the completeness and systematicness of the content covered by the subheadings (columns), and pay attention to discovering the changes of things in all aspects and levels to ensure that there are no important items and no important things. 5. Features. For a certain field, a certain industry, a certain discipline and a certain period, we should strive to reflect its regional characteristics, industry characteristics and times characteristics. 6. Value. We should fully consider the use value and reference value of the yearbook, actively serve the reality, decide the selection of yearbook items from the perspective of yearbook users' needs, and improve the unique and irreplaceable use and reference value of the yearbook. 7. Generally speaking. The items selected in the yearbook should focus on the overall situation and have universal significance for the whole system and the whole field. Even if it is a small matter, we should consider whether it brings global significance. 8. novelty. Attention should be paid to introducing new things, new initiatives, new situations, new features, new changes, new trends and new experiences, so that the yearbook can be continuously compiled and updated, and real changes can be recorded every year. 9. essential. When selecting a topic, we should pay attention to eliminating unnecessary redundant information. Through careful selection, the information content of the yearbook is large and dense, reflecting as much valuable information as possible within a limited number of articles.

(3) Edit the code of the project

? First of all, we should make clear the difference between the writing of yearbook items and other styles. The first is the difference with work summary. Yearbooks and work summaries are a review and summary of the past period of time, a certain scope or a certain aspect, recording work achievements, summing up experiences and lessons, finding out problems and gaps, and providing reference for future work. But the difference between the two is that the work summary can list all aspects and describe the specific work process. While summing up the past, we can also talk about future plans and plans, and we can use colloquial and argumentative style. However, the yearbook entries only record major events and important events, and there is no need to introduce specific practices, work processes and experiences in detail. They should be concise, straight to the point, until the end. Moreover, it only describes what has happened, but does not describe or predict the future. The second is the difference with news reports. Both can describe the development and changes of a certain region or department. The difference is that news reports use a variety of writing skills, such as description, metaphor, dialogue, comments and so on. , in order to enhance the appeal of the report, so that readers have an immersive sense of the scene, generally have a lead, can be discussed and discussed, pay attention to the impact of the text. As a reference book with a large amount of information, yearbook emphasizes simplicity, simplicity, accuracy and standardization, and pays attention to the information content of words. The third is the difference with dictionaries. Yearbooks and dictionaries take entries as the main carrier and expression form. Entries in dictionaries are usually explanatory articles that explain the definition and nature of things. When describing an object, its characteristic is "what". However, the items in the yearbook are usually narrative and explanatory, so when describing the object, it is required to write clearly "how to do it" and "how to do it". Explanatory, general and defining descriptions belong to dictionaries and should not appear in yearbooks.

Editorial norms of yearbook entries should start with content and text expression. The specification of content expression can be summarized as five key words: complete elements, vivid content, embodying characteristics, seeking truth from facts and refining words. "All" means that the contents recorded in this administrative region, this department and this industry should be comprehensive and systematic. Basic information and basic measures, achievements, experiences, major events and important matters should be included. Time, place, subject, process, result, main data and other elements are complete. We must do great things, and we must not miss them. "New" means that the content should be fresh. Pay attention to reflect the new things, new measures, new progress, new achievements, new experiences and new problems that happened in a year, and fully reflect the characteristics of the times. For some important events, important achievements and major reform measures, it is necessary to make separate detailed records. "Special" refers to highlighting the characteristics of various industries within the administrative region, including the unique aspects in economic and social development. Such as outstanding achievements, obvious advantages, great influence, etc., and focus on records. "Reality" means that all items must be realistic, and truthfully record things and events that have happened and exist objectively. Contents included in the plan, scheme or report, but not realized, shall not be recorded. "Fine" means that the narrative of events should be concise, not comprehensive, and what is written in one sentence should never be repeated in two sentences. Try to increase the effective information contained in each item.

In terms of the specification of the expression of articles, it is forbidden to wear boots and hats, to be false, to describe details, and to be absolute. We should also pay attention to the standardization of written expression. 1. Use fewer additional sentences, express concisely, with more short sentences, more notional words and more subject-predicate sentences; Use less long sentences, less attributives, adverbials and complements, and less adverbs, auxiliary words, adjectives and exaggerated words. 2. Use the word "le" less, such as "achieved", "promoted", "improved" and "achieved". "le" is a time auxiliary word, indicating the change or completion of the action, while the yearbook records what has happened. 3. Use the word "de" less. There are too many words "de" and the sentences are long. As long as it is properly refined, some words "de" can be used. 4. Use the word "for" less. Yearbook entries should be less written in official documents. For example, "For …" and "The output value is …". If the word "for" is removed from these sentences, the sentences will be more compact and the effect will be better. 5. Use "* * *" less, such as "* * * of enterprises above designated size in the county", "* * * of completed projects" and "* * * *............................................................................................................. 6. Use less words like "completed", "completed" and "obtained". Yearbooks describe what has happened, so many words "already" can be omitted.

(D) Project name design

? The title should accurately summarize the content of the item and highlight the keyword setting. For example, the entry "Promulgating Local Records Regulations" should be renamed "Promulgating Local Records Regulations". Headlines should be concise, accurately reflect the theme, and avoid using exaggerated descriptions and slogan propaganda sentences.

(5) Key requirements for photo selection

Yearbook photos are an indispensable and important form of expression for carrying propaganda and preserving history in the name of the government. In modern yearbook compilation, pictures, like words, are paid more and more attention because of their functions of managing affairs, preserving history and educating people, and become an important part of yearbook style.

There are three requirements in the Local Records Quality Standard issued by China Local Records Steering Group: 1. Pictures pay attention to typicality and information, and reflect the changes from different angles; 2. The subject of the photo is clear, the image is clear, and the time, place, things, the position of the explained person and the timely post are indicated; 3. The photo has no advertising color. Apart from biographies and profiles, there can be no personal standard image.

Like the requirements of the item, the map can be summarized as "big, important, new and special" "Big" refers to something with large scale and great influence, which brings strong shock and impact to society and people's psychology; "Yao" refers to something of great significance and important influence on the future; "New" refers to things that are in the embryonic or exploratory stage and represent the future social development direction; "Special" refers to things with industry or professional characteristics and abnormal special phenomena. Explaining it from another angle is to be objective and true, that is, to objectively reflect the real situation of the year, especially to reflect hot issues and major livelihood issues, and not to avoid major accidents and major mistakes during the year; Reflect the key points, on the basis of fully accumulating photo materials, carefully select and compile the most valuable and typical photos of the year into the yearbook; Show features, take photos around your business scope and division of responsibilities, highlight professional features, and take little or no photos of internal management, administrative affairs, annual routine meetings, etc. From the material accumulated in photos to the pictures suitable for yearbook, it is bound to go through a process of screening, transformation, refining and sublimation. According to the standard of "big, heavy, new and unique" and the standard of "one thing for one article", materials are matched with photos to expand the information content and historical value of articles.

The picture text description should be standardized and complete. Any historical event happens in a certain time and space, and historical figures and events always move and happen in a certain time and environment. This sentence illustrates the role of text description in pictures. Pictures with text descriptions can convey information more objectively and effectively. Some experts once said humorously, "photos are dumb", and text description is to let photos speak. The information and content of illustrations must be complete; The expression is concise, concise, clear and standardized; It also has a retrieval function. Only when the qualified photos collected and selected are accompanied by complete and accurate text descriptions can the information and value contained in the photos be realized.
