Print materials: Received by November 1st of the year specified. If there are pre-existing foreign language restrictions please notify me of these at time of submission. I will be acquiring non-exclusive World anthology rights in English and foreign languages in print, audio, and ebook formats. Translated works: Translations are eligible for consideration during the year they are first published in English, even if published in prior years in other languages. Serialized works: These will be considered published (as a complete work) at the time of the final installment. This is why they are treated differently. 
Unlike the digital publication dates, this is something that tends to be outside the publisher’s control.
If the print edition happens to ship a few days earlier than the official publication date, causing it to drift into the prior year, the copyright date will still be used.
Anthologies: If the ebook (or an e-Arc) of an anthology is made available for purchase (and delivery, preorders don’t count) in the year prior to the official copyright year, the earlier date will override the stated copyright date. For example, if a publisher posts stories from their January issue on their website in December, those stories will be considered as having been published in December, regardless of the date that appears on the cover. However, when a magazine deliberately releases individual stories ahead of that date, it may change the year of eligibility. Magazines: A magazine’s cover date will normally be used to determine year of publication.
