One workspace for every editorial decision.
Abstract
Editorial Board is where editors-in-chief, section editors and managing editors run peer review. Assignments, reviews, revisions and decision letters sit on one manuscript record, with each role seeing only what your review model allows.
- Queues by stage, age and handling editor
- Decision letters from templates written in your journal's voice
- Roles and permissions that follow single-blind, double-blind or open review
