Editors

1. Signing in

Citeable runs inside the journal's WordPress site. Editorial work is done in the WordPress admin area.

1. Go to the journal's web address followed by /wp-admin.
2. Enter your username and password, then select Log In.

The admin dashboard opens. This is the starting point for everything below.

2. The Journal menu

All editorial functions sit under a single Journal item in the left-hand admin menu.

1. Select Journal to expand it. The entries are Overview, Submissions, Editors, Statistics and Settings.
2. Select Overview for a summary of current activity: submissions awaiting attention, items in review, and published totals.

3. Opening a submission

New submissions appear under Journal → Submissions, most recent first.

1. Select a submission's title to open it.
2. The submission shows the authors, the abstract, and a link to the manuscript PDF.

From here you decide whether to send the submission for review or to reject it without review.

4. Sending for review

Reviewers are invited from the submission's review panel. A reviewer does not need an account.

1. Begin typing a reviewer's name. Existing reviewers are suggested; for a new reviewer, enter a name and email address.
2. Set the review period, then select Send invite.

Citeable emails the reviewer a private link to the manuscript and review form. Repeat to add further reviewers.

5. Recording a decision

When reviews are returned, they appear on the submission.

1. Read the reviews.
2. Select a decision: Accept, Revise, or Reject.

The decision is recorded against the submission. Nothing is sent to the author until the next step.

6. Emailing the author

Citeable drafts the decision letter from the recorded decision.

1. Open the author email. It is pre-filled to match the decision.
2. Edit the text as needed, then select Send.

The message is sent to the corresponding author and kept in the email log.

7. Publishing

Accepted submissions are promoted to articles and published as part of an issue.

1. On acceptance, the submission becomes an article; its title, authors and file are carried over.
2. Add the article to an issue.
3. When the issue is complete, select Publish issue.

All articles in the issue are published together under a single date. Each is then live on the journal site and available for indexing.
