All Subject Guides will have an editor (online community manager) who evaluates their work at least once every six months. However we receive feedback constantly from teachers which we monitor and pass onto each Subject Guide. Editors are also available to help make suggestions or critique work. However, RevisionWorld does have a publish-first model, so we will not read a Subject Guides’ work before it goes live on RevisionWorld.com. Email, phone and forums are also available as a resource for Subject Guides to communicate with each other and with their editors.

No equipment - beyond a computer and internet access - is necessary, although having access to a digital camera and some photo editing software is strongly recommended.
