Configurable Terms & Conditions
JAMS lets you set up your own custom Terms and Conditions for authors to read and comply to when they submit a manuscript.
To set your own T&Cs, enable the Custom Terms and Conditions features in the Application Features page and click ‘Save’ at the bottom of the page when you’re done.
Tip: Use the search bar to find the application features you want to change.
Remember to click save at the end to enable the features you have changed!

Once the feature has been enabled, Terms & Conditions can be created on the Website Settings page.
Upon clicking the pencil icon, a pop up window will open allowing you to edit the statements which the author must confirm before submitting a manuscript e.g. ‘I confirm that all listed authors meet authorship criteria’. You can then use the hyperlink function to link your own Terms and Conditions page, whether hosted by JAMS or from your own website.

Once the Terms and Conditions have been entered and submitted, they will appear on the paper submission page as shown.
If publishers have journal-specific Terms & Conditions, these can be set up by choosing to manage T&Cs at journal level instead of at system level in the application feature properties. In this situation, T&Cs will be available on each Journal detail page instead of the Website Settings page.
