Workflow summary

The workflow is divided into statuses, an article will go through a series of statuses to reach a final decision.

Below is a diagram of the Nestor workflow. For each status, Nestor expects an action from the indicated user, and use the due date to calculate delays.

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 involves:

• 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
