Manuscript Page

PUBLISHER JOURNAL EDITOR HANDLING EDITOR

Once the author has submitted their manuscript, the submission will be assigned a manuscript ID and will have its own manuscript page. All of the relevant metadata is stored here and it is the location of all of the editorial processing steps. You will be able to see where exactly in the process the manuscript has reached.

This shows what stage of the editorial process the manuscript is at e.g. ‘Submitted', ‘Under Review’, ‘Pending Author Revision’, etc).

This shows who the assigned Handling Editor of the manuscript is. The Journal Editor can do this or they can assign themselves. See Editorial Team: User Roles for more details.

Manuscript ID

This is the unique identifier of the submission on JAMS and it will be included in all communications to the author. You can use the manuscript quick-find search bar by typing in the Manuscript ID number. If you have multiple journals, you can identify the correct manuscript by the short-hand journal name (see below iup-171).

Previous file versions can be accessed through the ‘Display Manuscript Log’ button. You can also see all previous interactions with the manuscript by clicking ‘Manuscript Feed’.

	Edit Manuscript. In JAMS, pencil icons allow you to edit the component they are attached to. In this case, you can edit the Manuscript details, reupload the file etc.

	Send Email to Assigned Editor. This allows you to compose an email to the Handling Editor that is assigned to the paper through JAMS.
	Displays Mail Log. You are able to see all email communications completed in JAMS including automated emails (see here to set these up).
