FAQ
I cannot send my decision on this article, why?
If the buttons are unavailable in the decision module, this means either the status of the article does not allow a decision, or your profile does not have the right to take the decision.
Most of the time, this is caused by the status, typically these two statuses will lock the editorial decision:
- Revision in progress (with author)
- Peer review in progress (with referee)
This is a feature ensuring the author or referee(s) complete their pending tasks. To unlock the decision, you must either:
- wait for them to complete the task (or do it on their behalf)
- or cancel the task (revert decision / cancel referee)
I made a mistake when sending the decision, how can I cancel and resend it?
You must first revert your previous decision! This is done via the decision module:
When sending a message, I can only enclose one file, why?
Spam filters are sensitive about enclosures. To preserve our sender address reputation, we have implemented the following safeguards:
- Limit the number of files enclosed to an e-mail
- Limit the size of enclosed files
- Limit the hourly volume of sent e-mails
To enclose several files, three methods are at your disposal:
1. The simplest method is to zip the files and upload the zip here:
2. Another straightforward solution is to assign yourself as referee and upload the files in the report form. This will insert a link in your decision, that the author can simply click to download the files.
3. An alternate solution is to upload the files in the file management module, and refer the author to it. Check with your editorial office that file types are properly configured and ensure the author has access to it.
