Lead fair, confidential, and well-documented editorial handling

Editors should use the platform to keep screening, peer review, revision rounds, and publication handoff consistent, traceable, and ready for production once a paper is accepted.

Recommended editorial workflow

  1. Confirm that the manuscript fits the journal’s scope and meets basic policy requirements.
  2. Review metadata, declarations, uploaded files, and corresponding-author details before reviewer invitation.
  3. Select appropriate reviewers, monitor turnaround, and keep the review record clean and confidential.
  4. Issue a decision that is evidence-based, constructive, and aligned with the reviewer record.
  5. Before publication, confirm final metadata, author list, production files, and any DOI information.

What editors handle in the platform

  • Journal-bound submission handling for assigned journals.
  • Reviewer invitation, response tracking, and replacement where needed.
  • Revision-round monitoring and final recommendations.
  • Private editor–publisher coordination through the internal workspace.

What remains administrator-only

  • Publisher settings and billing configuration.
  • Journal creation, deletion, and global maintenance / live controls.
  • User administration across the full platform.
  • Publisher-wide production and compliance oversight.
