When an EIC/EO unassigns someone:

Nestor will now check if this editor is the parent of another editor. If so, you will have to select a replacement to complete the removal:

Referee history

On a user page, the referee article history will now be displayed the same way as in referee invitations, references will now properly link to the article page.

Account creation date

On a user page, a few important dates will now be displayed as such:

Better merges

When merging two accounts, one of the account is deleted. His article history is transferred to the preserved account. We now also check other information to preserve, namely the ORCID account and any expertise fields:

Production workflow: first/intermediate proofs

Nestor now properly makes the difference between the first proofs, and any subsequent ones. This change allows production teams to customize the "first proofs" mail template, which is especially important during production. Please check carefully the note below the picture.

By default, two templates are provided

NB The default event was called "Proof request from production to author".

Any mail triggered by this event has been transformed to "First proof request to author". Additionally, we have provided a new default template to handle this workflow: Intermediate proof request, you do not need to do anything.




New mail variables

A lot of new vaiables out of the oven. The first ones are related to articles:

The others are related to user and not visible yet in the configuration. They are designed especially when sending validation mails to co-authors, to customize texts according to the co-author status:

{{ recipient.validOrcid }}
