Joy and Stanley Trauth were honored in the 2008 issue of the Journal of Arkansas Academy of Science.
The journal dedicated the issue, the couple's final issue, to the Trauths. The two also received a plaque in thanks for their 15 years of contribution.
Stanley began working for the journal in 1992, and has since served as the editor-in-chief of the publication. Joy worked as his editorial assistant and edited the initial copy of every manuscript.
The journal gave them this well-deserved tribute, which is the first time it has dedicated anything to its contributors. The Trauths said they were very honored to receive the award.
The couple has been working for the journal for 15 years, even though it is normally only a 5-year appointment.
"They just kept asking us not to quit," Joy said. "It was a very time-consuming job. I will have to say I learned a lot of grammar doing it."
Stan has been responsible for collecting manuscripts for publication from professors who attend the meeting of the Journal of Arkansas Academy.
Joy would then read and edit the manuscripts for grammar, format and sometimes content. Stan would then send them out to other reviewers of that field to edit.
After all the editing, the manuscripts would be sent back to the authors to be changed, and Stan would then look at them again before sending them to the publisher who would create a galley proof.
Stanly would look at them for a third time and the authors would approve and the manuscripts published would finally be published.
Joy and Stanly would get between 30 and 50 manuscripts sent to them each year. Joy would spend about one to two hours editing each manuscript, and did most of her work over the summer.
Stanley also served as president of the Arkansas Academy of Science, a society of a group of scientists, in 2006.
"I worked my way up to that position," Stanley said.
They also put together a guide for writers on how to avoid common grammatical mistakes and how to do literature citations correctly.
