Manuscript Sub-Types Additional Information Question

A new additional information question has been introduced, Manuscript Sub-Types, which can be used with any journal. Authors can enter their manuscript's sub-type in the Additional Information submission step. Editors can then update the manuscript sub-type in ScholarOne, and this change is reflected in Author Portal for the author.

Update for ScholarOne Unusual Activity Detection (UAD)

Changes have been made to both Author Portal and ScholarOne to restore accurate reporting of unusual activity.

Transfer Improvements

When authors click the link in the transfer email notification, the page they navigate to no longer displays the Cancel Import Request option.

For example:

• Suggested and opposed reviewers
• Configure Research Topics Keywords in Author Portal
• Configure the Preferred Editors Question in Author Portal

Accessibility Improvements

Section headings are now tagged with the semantically appropriate HTML tags, <h1> through <h6>.
