Current editor and to-do list
The current editor is responsible for moving an article forward:
- If an editorial action is expected (such as an assignment or a decision), then the current editor is responsible for performing this action
- If an author or referee action is expected, the current editor is responsible for following through and remind the latecomers.
In any event, the current editor is responsible of the timely processing of the manuscript, and make sure the workflow is not stuck.
For this purpose, your personal to-do list keeps track of all articles where you are current editor:
This list will guide you to identify articles where an action is expected from you specifically.
NB Red counters keep track of articles where the due date is passed, please pay particular to them.
