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
