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: thesethey 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

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
