Proposals and decisions

 

Depending on your profile rights, you may propose or take a decision.

  • Proposing a decision will return the article to your parent editor (who becomes current editor of the article)
  • Taking a decision will send the editorial decision directly to the author

 

The recommandation system

There are three decision groups:

  • Acceptance / Propose acceptance
  • Revision / Propose revision
  • Rejection / Propose rejection

Depending on the journal and your profile, each group will offer different choices. Typically for revisions, you will have the choice between requesting a minor or a major revision.
