Associate Decision Term in Reject and Transfer Family with Transfer Target

A decision term in the Reject and Transfer family may be associated with specific target publications. When a decision term is associated with one or more target publications, only those designated publications will be presented as transfer options when the editor selects that decision term. Transfer options may be presented to Editors or Authors, depending on other configurations, in these locations:

Select Transfer Target Publications page: Shown when an Editor submits a decision in the Reject and Transfer family (if the page is configured to display).
Transfer Submission page: Shown when an Author agrees to transfer the submission. (The full list of available transfer target publications is shown on this page if the page above is not configured to display to Editors.)
%TRANSFER_TARGETS% merge field in a Reject and Transfer decision letter.

To configure:

Cross-publication transfer must be enabled, and at least one target publication must have an active status for outgoing transfer. For details, find applicable information in Transfer Submissions Between Publications.

Go to PolicyManager > Editor Decision Policies > Edit Editor Decision Terms, and click the Add New Term button (or edit an existing term) to open the Add/Edit Editor Decision Term page.

Use the Family Family drop-down menu to select Reject and Transfer. The page refreshes to display the Associate Decision Term with Transfer Target Publications section.
Use the multi-selector list to highlight one or more target publications. This list contains all active outgoing transfer target publications. Default value is "All target publications."
Complete other settings on this page as required.
When finished, click Submit.
