C. Manage All Submissions (Editor Home)

Notice when you click on Manage All Submissions from the Journal Home screen, the same queues and links are listed on the Editor Home page.

  1. The manuscript queues are listed under the heading Submissions:
    • Unassigned - Contains articles that have recently been submitted and have not yet been assigned to a particular Editor or Section Editor.
    • In Review - Contains articles that have been assigned to an Editor or Section Editor and are either ready to have Reviewers assigned, or are actively under review.
    • In Editing - Contains articles that have been accepted and are now either in the Copyediting, Layout or Proofreading stages.
    • Archives - Contains articles that have already been published, as well as articles that were rejected or declined.
  2. The Editor also has access to links used to manage Issues:
    • Create Issue - Used to create new future issues, to which approved articles can then be assigned.
    • Notify Users - Can be used to notify users enrolled in your journal when a new issue has been published, however most Editors prefer to use a 3rd-party service (such as MailChimp) to send emails that can be highly customized.
    • Future Issues - Once an issue has been created, it will be listed under Future Issues until it has been published.
    • Back Issues - Once an issue has been published it will be listed under Back Issues. Note that journals which publish incrementally (i.e. as articles are ready for release, rather than an entire issue at once) will find their current issue under Back Issues after the first article has been published to the issue.
  3. Remember: You can always use the Journal Home link in the navigation header to return to a familiar starting point.
