Parallel Author Revision and Editorial Decision

This article explains the Parallel Author Revision and Editorial Decision feature, what it changes about your workflow, and how to switch it on in Application Features.


In the standard JAMS workflow, making an editorial decision is a mandatory step once the reviewer reports are collected and peer review is closed. Author revision only becomes available after that decision has been provided.


Feature Disabled Workflow

When Parallel Author Revision and Editorial Decision is enabled, both the decision and the revision sections become available as soon as peer review is closed. This means the author can begin revising while the editorial decision is being finalised, which can save time on manuscripts that are likely to be revised.


Feature Enabled Workflow

To enable this feature, head to Application Features, managed by anyone with Super User access.
