Submission Data Quality

This section indicates if key metadata was provided manually or extracted from the manuscript.

Metadata is usually extracted from the manuscript, which ensures that manuscript and metadata match. In some cases, Author Portal cannot extract some metadata from the manuscript and the submitter is asked to provide that manually, either through copy/paste, or sometimes manually typed in.

Metadata that was provided manually should be checked more carefully to ensure accuracy between manuscript and metadata.

Currently, Author Portal flags the following:

  • Title
  • Abstract
  • Author(s)
  • Affiliation(s)
