To Propose a bulletin
- Extension funds the production and printing of bulletins and therefore requires an author to obtain prior approval by filling out a Publications and Manuscript Approval form (PRAMA) before writing the publication.
- Fill out "Step 1: Request" on the PRAMA form and the bulletin information in the "Bulletin" column of the PRAMA.
- Under "Review" on the PRAMA, choose three reviewers and forward the PRAMA form to either a department head or regional Extension director.
- The department head or regional Extension director) signs the form and routes the form to the Extension publications specialist, Debby Weitzel, 371 Aylesworth SW, who signs and routes the form to the Extension associate director of programs.
- The associate director of programs reviews the PRAMA, signs and returns the approved PRAMA back to the author to begin writing the manuscript.

Review Process
- Filling out review form. Once the manuscript is written, fill out a Manuscript Review Form.
- Kind of review. If the manuscript does not contain original research, check "A" for the "Kind of Review" and send a copy of the review form and manuscript to each reviewer. If the manuscript contains original research(requiring a peer review) check "B" and send four copies of the manuscript and form to the department head/technical editor, who will assign the reviewers and forward the manscripts and forms to each reviewer.
- Reviewers' comments. For "A" review, the author incorporates reviewers comments into the final manuscript. For "B" review, the department head/technical editor determines which comments should be incorporated and returns the reviewer's copies back to the author.
- Preparing final manuscript. When reviewers' comments are returned to the author, the author incorporates the comments into the final manuscript and sends the final manuscript, a completed PRAMA, copies of the review form, and photos and/or slides to Debby Weitzel, Extension publications specialist, 371 Aylesworth SW.
- Preferred formats for manuscripts:
Text: Word Perfect or Word
Photos: Photo CD, high quality TIF or slide. Drawings: High quality TIF, Photoshop or original.

Publication Sale Policy:
- Selling publications published by an outside source. Extension will sell and distribute publications written/published by a Colorado Extension specialist/author or other university if the material supports the mission of Colorado State University Extension.
- Determining a sale price. The following sale price applies to all publications that are purchased or funded by Extension.
Unit cost (printing)
+ marketing cost (20 percent of printing cost)
Subtotal
x 11.5 % University overhead
Subtotal
+ markup (100 percent of print cost)
Subtotal
+ .075 project cost recovery*
Total
Example: House Plant Tips $1.84 (unit cost) +.37 (marketing) = 2.21 + .25 (overhead) = 2.46 +1.84 (100 % markup of print cost) = 4.30 + .32 (project cost recovery) = $4.62 or $4.75 retail price. (Wholesale prices are a 20 percent reduction of retail and are available to county offices or to purchases of 10 copies or more.)
*Author/department project cost recovery costs. Any author who writes a publication, published and paid for by Extension, may receive a cost-recovery of 7.5 percent of the publication's sale price. Cost recovery will be deposited into the primary author's university or county account when 100 percent of the costs incurred on a publication have been recovered through sales, and then only once a year. The incurred costs include the original printing cost, marketing and university overhead (see formula).
- Author royalties. Any author who writes a publication that is funded by Extension may recieve a project cost-recovery of 7.5 percent of the publication's sale price when 100 percent of the production costs (printing, overhead, marketing) have been recovered through sales, and then only once a year. Project cost-recovery will be deposited into the primary author's university or county account.
