Dashboards and article status

What you see on your dashboard is dependent on your editor profile.

Usually, every editor has access to:

• The personal dashboard, listing the articles you are in charge of (with a useful To-Do list)
• The saved searches area, which contains links to your favorite searches.

 

Additionally, and according to your profile rights, you may have access to

• A list of articles sorted by status (more relevant for editorial office staff)
• A list of articles sorted by editors (usually used by Editor-in-Chief and editorial office staff);

In all dashboards, the workflow has been divided into functional steps (who is working on the articles). Here is a summarized breakdown of statuses.
