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: these will appear in editors' to-do list and require your attention! Starred statuses allow editors to take most common actions:

• ask for a revision
• take a final decision
• or send the paper to the referees
