About Author Portal Transfer Data Extraction from ScholarOne
Whether importing a submission via ID or via file, Author Portal Transfer automatically extracts files from the submission package and checks the ScholarOne submission API to validate if the submission is eligible for transfer.
If the import is successful, Author Portal Transfer automatically creates a transfer ticket to begin a new draft submission stub and populates it with metadata from the API and the submission file(s).
Author Portal Transfer performs the following validations:
- Author Portal checks the uniqueness of the ScholarOne Manuscript ID to ensure that the submission is not already present in Author Portal. This check prevents duplicate submissions being made to the same journal or to more than one journal at the same time.
- Author Portal checks that the submission is in an appropriate state to be transferred. For example, that the submission was rejected by the previous journal in ScholarOne. This check prevents a submission from being under active consideration at more than one journal at the same time.
ScholarOne does not automatically include peer review reports in the submission package ZIP file. In the Import via File mode, Author Portal Transfer will automatically retrieve any available peer-review reports through the ScholarOne API. Review reports can also be uploaded separately.
