After an assignment has been made the copyeditor will be able to login to the system to do their work. Before the task is accepted you have the opportunity to edit the notes and due date or delete the assignment, once the copyeditor has accepted the task these options are removed and replaced with a Review button. The Action Log will also updated with relevant dates like Copyeditor accepted the request.

Review Copyediting

Copyediting review page

The review page presents the response from the copyeditor including their notes and any files they uploaded. You can now do one of three things:

  1. Accept Copyedit, this closes the task.
  2. Request Author Review, ask the author to review the copyedits.
  3. Reopen the task, ask the copyeditor to make some changes.

Accepting the copyedit closes this task, if you wish to make further requests from the copyeditor after pressing this you can assign the copyeditor again to a new task.

Requesting author review will ask the author to review the changes made and inform the editor if any corrections are required. The author can also upload a file if they have made corrections or used track changes.

Reopen the task asks the copyeditor to make further changes to the manuscript file. This is most often used after a Author Review returns corrections required.

Finishing Up

When you are finished copyediting the manuscript you can select Completed Copyediting to move to the next stage. In the standard workflow the next stage is Production.
