Workflow summary
The workflow has been divided into functional steps called statuses. For each status, Nestor expects a reply from the indicated user, and use the due date to calculate delays. Below is a diagram of the Nestor workflow. Blue boxes represent editorial statuses: they will appear in editors' to-do list and require your attention!
Some parts of the workflow are highly configurable, namely:
- the technical check (status; Registration / RV registration)
- editors' assignments (status: awaiting assignment)
- the peer review system (status; in search of referee / peer review)
- the decision workflow (new submission / waiting decision / revision received)
Configuring these usually involve:
- Checking the workflow options in the article type, to ensure the workflow is enabled
- Checking the editors' rights according to their profile, to ensure at least one editor can handle the workflow
- Cheking relevant mail templates triggered by workflow events, to ensure the letters format match your journal needs
