Before moving forward, it will be useful to gain a basic understanding of the suggested editorial workflow for which the submission management system was designed. Your own journal's editorial workflow may differ from what is represented in the diagram, and in many cases the system will be flexible enough to accommodate your specific needs. In the slides that follow, each of these steps will be covered in greater detail.
Tip: If you are uploading back content, or if you manage editorial processes outside of the eScholarship system, you can bypass much of this complexity using the QuickSubmit tool, which allows you to upload camera-ready PDFs directly to an issue. The QuickSubmit tool is described in more detail in the video resource Using the QuickSubmit Tool to Upload Complete Issues or Back Content.
