FAQ


I cannot send my decision on this article, what happens?

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, the issue is caused by the status. Typically, the two following statuses lock the editorial decision:

  • Revision in progress (with author)
  • Peer review in progress (with referee)

This is to prevent two different persons working on the article at the same time.



I made a mistake when sending the decision, how can I 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 very sensitive about enclosed files, especially when asystems systemsuch generatesas Nestor generate a lot of messages. To prevent our sender addresses from being blocked, we have implemented safeguards to preserve theirreputation:our reputation:

  • Limit the number of enclosed files
  • Limit the size of enclosed files
  • Limit the volume of sent e-mailmessages by minutes/hour

To send several files, two methods are at your disposal:

1. The simplest method is to zip the files and upload it here:

2. 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. 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 so that the author can see them.the files in the module..
