Dashboards and article status
What you see on your dashboard is dependent on the rights of your editorial profile. For more information about the profile, please contact your Editorial Office.
Usually, every editor has access to:
- The personal dashboard, listing the articles you are in charge of (with the very important 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 all articles sorted by status (more relevant for editorial office staff)
- A list of all articles sorted by editors (usually used by Editors-in-Chief);
In all dashboards, the workflow has been divided into functional steps (who is working on the articles). Here is a summarized breakdown of statuses.
