Configuration of decisions: the recommendation system

Depending on your workflow needs, your journal can use very specific labels for decisions. Some decisions will be related to scientific corrections, others may be related to copyediting or language corrections. In Nestor those labels are called "recommendations". Here are a few common examples:

Acceptance group
Revision group
Rejection group
  • Provisory acceptance
  • Acceptance
  • Minor revision
  • Major revision
  • English revision
  • Proofreading revision
  • etc.


  • Direct rejection
  • Rejection after refereeing
  • Rejection for plagiarism
  • Rejection for serial publication
  • etc.


Those labels are freely configurable here:
