comments

Authoring comments

All authors have the use of a back-end commenting feature by which they can exchange
non-public comments with each other and with the editor.

Editors, reviewers, and authors also have the ability to view a log of work on the
article

Audit log

and to compare article revisions.

Submitting Articles

Once editing is complete, authors submit their article for review. The submission
process is a single click:

Submit article for review

.

Different users (authors, editors, etc) see a different view of the article status
pane depending on their permission level:

Submitted: author view

Assigning Reviewers

Once the article is submitted, Annotum then optionally notifies the editor (if email
notification is disabled, the editor may simply monitor the article queue for new
submissions), and the editor assigns one or more reviewers to the task.

Submitted: editor view and adding reviewers

Review process

Next, reviewers sign in, read the article, and enter comments if desired. Reviewers
have a separate, private comment area as well, one not visible to Authors.
Optionally, site administrators can enable a form of open-process review in which
review comments (and the reviewers’ identities) are visible to the authors.

Reviewer comments

After the reviewer enters any relevant comments, which might be a question back to
the editor (in effect the lead reviewer), he or she makes a recommendation: Approve,
Reject, or Request Revisions.

Reviewer comments

Approval

When all the reviews are submitted (or whatever portion is sufficient according to
the editorial policy of the publication) the editor makes a final ruling on the
article, which again can be Approve, Reject, or Request Revisions.

Approved

Once approved, the article is ready for final copyediting and publishing by a site
admin (editors cannot publish); if revisions are requested the article returns to a
draft status for further editing by the author(s).  And if the article is
rejected it is removed from the publication queue.  In all cases
notification is sent to the authors and editors of the final decision.  The
publication staff (admins) makes whatever final tweaks are required, and publishes the
articles live on the public-facing web site.
