Dashboards, colored counters, statuses
Nestor dashboards offer a quick overview of the journal activity, sorting articles by status and counting them.
- Red counters sum up articles where the due date is exceeded
- Green counters sum up articles where the due date is not exceeded
Standard dashboards
Usually, every editor has access to:
- The saved searches area, which contains links to your favorite searches.
- The most important personal dashboard, listing the articles you are in charge of (click here for details).
Special dashboards
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);
