- Article submission: when an author submit a new article, the platform check if the article has been submitted previously.
Actions taken depending on the article’s status:
[Article not yet in a reviewing process] the article may be updated
[Article waiting for a reviewer invitation answer ]the article may be updated
[Article published, in a reviewing process or reviewed] submission is blocked
[Article waiting for a revision] submission is blocked, a link is proposed to the author to allow him to answer the revision request
[Article refused] the submission is allowed if the author think the article had major revisions. The new submission will have a new unique identifier. The former version of the submission is kept but article is shown as ‘refused’. The automated message for the new submission will also display the identifier of the refused article, for the record. New email tags have been added for this purpose : %%REFUSED_ARTICLE_MESSAGE%% %%REFUSED_PAPER_URL%% . These tags will have to be added in the email template. The tags are automatically present if the journal uses the default template.
Name of the template to edit : Submitted article – Editors copy
- Uploaded file may be deleted. File uploaded within a reviewer report may not be deleted after the report has been submitted. The reviewer has to ask the editor to change his/her review.
- Review: the editor of an article may allow the reviewer to change his/her report after he/she has submitted a review. For instance to remove an uploaded file or change comments in the rating grid.
- Review: reviewer report’s filenames are now automatically renamed with unique names to avoid a breach of anonymity
