Submission ========== The management interface has three sections that allow you to manage submission settings for journals. - Submission Settings - Submission Fields Configurator - Additional Submission Fields Submission Settings ------------------- This section allows you to control generic submission settings that affect how submission is experienced. - Disable Journal Submission - If checked, this setting disables the submission system. - Submission Intro Text - Introductory text for the head of the Submission page. - Copyright Notice - Copyright information for authors usually includes information on licenses used for publishing and rights retained. - Submission Checklist - Usually a numeric list of items an author should check before submitting the paper. - Acceptance Criteria - The criteria the journal uses to evaluate your paper. - Publication Fees - Any publication fees associated with submitting the paper. - Editors for Notification - This allows you to select which Editors are notified of new papers being submitted. - User Automatically Author - If enabled the submission system assumes the user submitting the paper is also an author, they can be removed if required. - Competing Interests - This setting is deprecated in favour of the Submission Configurator version. - Submission Summary - This setting will be moved to the submission configurator. If enabled, this asks for a lay summary of the paper to be submitted. - Accepts Preprint Submissions - If preprints are enabled and this setting is enabled an author will be able to submit a preprint directly from the preprint service into the journal for evaluation. - Focus and Scope - The journal's Focus and Scope, displayed on the Submissions page. - Publication Cycle - The journal's publication schedule e.g. Yearly or Continuous, displayed on the Submissions page. - Peer Review Info - Information on how peer-review is conducted, displayed on the Submissions page. - File Submission Guidelines - General instructions for authors when they get to the file upload stage. - Manuscript File Submission Instructions - Specific instructions for manuscripts, appearing on the manuscript upload pop-up. - Limit Manuscript Types - If enabled, only Doc, Docx, RTF and ODT files will be accepted as manuscript files during submission - Data and Figure File Submission Instructions - Specific instructions for figures and data files, appearing on the figure and data upload pop-up. Submission Fields Configurator ------------------------------ The submission fields configurator lets you enable or disable submission fields. This page has three complexities: - Disabling License, Language or Section - If you disable one of these fields you need to set a default value .. figure:: ../../nstatic/submission-configurator.png Submission Fields Configurator - You can enable or disable almost all fields, except Title, Manuscript Files and Authors. Additional Submission Fields ---------------------------- The additional submission fields page allows us to add custom fields to the Article Info submission page. It works in a similar fashion to the Review Forms generator. Field types are: - Text Field - Text Area - Checkbox - Select (dropdown) - Email - Upload - Date To add a new Element: - In the form add Name and select a Kind - If you choose "select" as kind you will need to add the options to the Choices field, these should be seperated by the bar "|" characted e.g. choice 1|choice 2|choice 2 or 1|2|3|4|5 if you wanted a numeric choice. If you select any other Kind, ignore the Choices field. - Required - If this field MUST be completed, ensure this box is checked, if it is optional make sure it is not checked - Order - The order in which this element will appear on the form - Width - 1/3, 1/2 or Full width. If you put two half width elements next to each other in order they will both display on the same line - Help text - This text will display under the Name field on the form and explain what the reviewer needs to do with this field.
