Article types

Article types are the main entry point to configure the workflow. Article types may be created, updated, or deleted here:

Clicking on “Configure article type” (the little pen) will get you to the article type configuration, where the following options must be edited for any given article type:

• Information required to the authors at submission (file types, information fields, questionnaire)

• Due dates for authors and editors: this serve as a basis to compute the status due date and reminders

• The technical check, if any. When activated, articles with this article type will benefit from a special workflow
  

• The peer review: referee due dates, number of reports expected before taking take a decision
