A Remove Submission link is available for Editors. This action is used primarily for preventing mistaken or false submissions from entering the editorial workflow, before manuscript numbers and Editors are assigned. Removing a submission permanently deletes it from the system. The submission record will not appear in any reports, searches, or lists.
For Editor use information, see Remove Submission.
Note: Authors also have access to the Remove Submission link. The link appears in these Author folders: Incomplete Submissions and Submissions Waiting for Author’s Approval, and Submissions Sent Back to Author. The link is not available to Authors for invited submissions (related to a Commentary or Proposal).
Go to PolicyManager > Email and Letter Policies > Edit Letters. Create a letter (in the General family) to be sent when an Editor removes a submission.
Go to ActionManager > Author Letters. Go to the Editor Receives Submission section. Next to the event Editor – Remove Submission, choose the letter configured above from the drop-down list.
For details on letter configurations, see Create Letters.
