Changing a Journal's Manuscript ID Prefix

Users can now update their journal’s manuscript ID prefix. This is the unique journal identifier for each manuscript that is formatted like this ‘abc-123’. It helps editors quickly identify and find the manuscript and journal without having to memorise titles.

Users can now edit the Manuscript ID prefix in the Journal Settings.

The user should click the pencil icon next to the journal they'd like to update.

They can then fill in the Manuscript Prefix section with their updated prefix.


⭐Note: Changing the manuscript prefix will also change the article's unique DOI string. For more information on DOI settings, please read this article.  


When the user is happy, they should click 'submit' at the bottom of the page to save the settings.
