Editors May Submit Manuscripts

Editors with permission may submit manuscripts. These submissions may include manuscripts for peer review or non-reviewed editorial content, such as editorials, notices and announcements, classified ads, and other staff-generated content.

Once submitted, the manuscript can follow the standard editorial review process with the Editor recorded as the Corresponding Author. Alternatively, the submission may be accepted immediately (final disposition is set to Accept on Submission) without going through the standard editorial process.

To submit a manuscript as an Editor:

Click the Submit a Manuscript link on the main navigation to open the Editor version of the submission interface.
Complete all required submission steps. These depend on publication configuration and Article Type selection.
Build the submission PDF.
Go to the Editorial Submissions in Progress folder to view and approve the submission. (If you have designated a Corresponding Author other than yourself, the submission is not available for your approval; the Corresponding Author must access and approve it.)
Select an option to move the submission forward:
- Submit to Publication: This moves the submission into the editorial review process.
- Submit and Set Final Disposition to Accept: This positions the submission as ready for transmittal to production.

If an Editor begins but does not complete a submission or builds but does not approve the PDF, the submission moves to the Editor's Editorial Submissions in Progress folder. Submissions in this folder are not yet submitted to the publication.
