|
|
|
|
When your submission is under consideration, you can keep an eye on its status by logging into the website and going to the [Submissions](submissions) page.
|
|
|
|
Here you'll find you submissions listed with the current stage of the editorial workflow it is in. Click the stage name to interact with that stage.
|
|
|
|
### <a name="track-submission-discussions"></a>Discussion Panels
|
|
|
|
In each stage you'll have access to a discussion area. If an editor or editorial assistant needs more information from you, they'll be able to open a discussion. When that happens, you'll be notified by email so that you can respond.
|
|
|
|
*You won't be able to initiate discussions on most stages, but they'll appear if one has been initiated by the editors.*
|
|
|
|
### <a name="track-submission-review"></a>Review Stage
|
|
|
|
During the review stage, you'll see a status update at the top, which will keep you informed as reviewers are recruited, assigned, and submit their reviews.
|
|
|
|
During the review stage, you may be asked to submit revisions which address any concerns raised. If needed, you'll find a Revisions panel where you can upload new files for the editor.
