Criteria:
A well-written Standard outlines a work method addressing the process of a specific maintenance, repair or upgrade made to an existing window.
- All submitted standards will be placed under review by a rotating panel of window professionals. Once your submission has been reviewed, the panel may ask for adjustments or edits. After the requested edits are complete, the panel will notify the author regarding the acceptance of their submitted Standard.
- You do not need to have invented the method or independently developed it. However, if you learned the method from someone else, then you must acknowledge them in your submission, as “credit where credit is due” is an ethical necessity. If the method has been previously published (in print or online), please cite your source(s) in the “References” section of your submission.
- Please be sure all the text and photos you submit are your original work. With photos, this means that you were the one who clicked the camera shutter. If you want to submit text, drawings, or photos from others, get their written permission before submitting them to the WPSC, and include their full contact information so it is easy for our review committee to seek necessary confirmation and permission from them.
- Do not submit any methods that are currently protected by patent, are trade secrets, or are proprietary information. It is OK to submit methods from lapsed patents that have run out, since lapsed patents are in the public domain, and please do your due diligence.
