Overview
📄️ Pre-Review Discussion
The Pre-Review Discussion feature provides a secure communication channel for authors and editorial users to discuss the manuscript before it enters the peer review stage.
📄️ Participants
The Participants section allows editors to assign additional editorial users to a manuscript so that different members of the editorial team can collaboratively manage the submission throughout its lifecycle. Instead of a single editor handling every stage of the publication process, responsibilities can be distributed to users based on their roles, expertise, and workflow requirements.
📄️ Article Lifecycle
The Article Lifecycle provides a complete, end-to-end view of a manuscript's journey throughout the editorial and publishing workflow. It records every significant milestone, workflow transition, decision, and activity from the moment the manuscript is submitted until it is published.
📄️ Letters History
The Letters History page provides a complete record of all email communications associated with a manuscript throughout its editorial and publishing lifecycle.
📄️ Submission Logs
The Submission Logs page provides a detailed audit trail of every activity performed on a manuscript throughout its lifecycle. It records all workflow actions performed by authors, reviewers, editors, journal managers, and system processes, ensuring complete transparency and traceability.
📄️ Meta Download
The Meta Download option allows editors to download the manuscript metadata in a structured format for integration with external systems and publishing workflows.
📄️ Mail Trigger Configuration
The Mail Trigger Configuration option allows editors to customize automated email reminder and escalation settings for the current manuscript only, without affecting the journal's global mail trigger configuration.
