Configuration of decisions: the recommandation system

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

Acceptance decision family
Revision decision family
Rejection decision family
  • 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 in the recommandation configuration:
