Editors work in the editorial dashboard. A manuscript moves through these stages:
- Editorial check: scope, formatting, anonymisation and the similarity report. Corrections can be requested before review.
- Peer review: invite independent reviewers, follow their progress and send reminders.
- Decision: accept, minor or major revision, or reject, with a letter to the authors.
- Production: send the accepted manuscript to typesetting and check the proof.
Every step is recorded and can be exported as the journal's index file.
