02 September 2025

Metadata configuration

 

Following 6.60, metadata still benefits a series of update:

  • Metadata configuration: set visibility of individual metadata fields for authors and referees:

By default, the following standard metadata will be visible to authors and referees:

  • article type
  • section
  • author list
  • topical issue
  • abstract
  • comment

Questionnaire configuration

  • When setting up closed answers, the interface has been revamped to match Nestor look and feel:

  • Answers to questionnaires can (at last!) be used to fill standard or custom fields:

Editorial Board management

For editorial offices: on the profile page two fields appear to track beginning and end of activity.

This data can be exported as well as other relevant editorial data:

Authors management: new activity button

On a user page, activity as co-author is now distinct from the activity as corresponding author:

Referee invitation: new warning

When inviting a referee on a giving paper, Nestor now checks if the potential referee has submitted with co-authors in the past. If so, a warning will be raised like so:

Rights management

The code handling users' rights has been significantly overhauled to improve maintainability. Please let us know if you see something unusual: support@nestor-edp.org
