Author Portal Glossary of Terms

Atypon Author Portal service is a manuscript submission site. This submission site feeds directly into a third-party peer review and manuscript tracking system such as ScholarOne Manuscripts.

One or more creators of scholarly content. The term may also refer to the corresponding author that submits the manuscript, in which case the author is also the user.

Note that it is not always the author who submits the paper if there is a submitting agent.

An online collaborative platform by Wiley and Atypon to write scholarly documents. Scholars can also use Authorea to publish their work as preprints.

Collaborating or joint author.

An author who is the main contact on an article, to whom proofs and queries are sent. Often the corresponding author is the Atypon Author Portal user who submits and revises manuscripts.

CRediT is a high-level taxonomy, including 14 roles, that can be used to represent the roles typically played by contributors to scientific scholarly output. The roles describe each contributor’s specific contribution to the scholarly output.

Author Portal journal admins can configure CRediT to enable author contribution collection as optional, or required, at initial submission. When enabled for a journal, CRediT author contributions are always required at revision.

A set of publication configurations that are in the process of being edited, but have not been “published” or committed.

The ISSN for an electronic version of a journal.

An identifier in S1M for submissions ingested from a system external to S1M, such as Author Portal.

In the case of submissions originating from Author Portal, Author Portal generates a transaction ID for each submission. It is this value that is stored in S1M as the external manuscript ID when the submission is ingested by S1M.

See the related information for more details about the types of identifiers used in Author Portal Submission and S1M.

A submission that has been successfully completed in Author Portal but has not been ingested into the peer review system (e.g. ScholarOne).

Short for hexadecimal code. In Author Portal, as in many other applications, a hash symbol (#) followed by a six digit code that corresponds to a specifc color. For example, #FFFFFF for white or #000000 for black.

Manuscripts without a decision that were originally submitted to a third-party peer review system before the publication implemented Atypon Author Portal.

International Standards Series Number, a print or electronic identifier for a journal.

A scholarly document (and its accompanying files) that is unpublished and undergoing the peer-review process with the editorial office.

Identifier generated by the manuscript tracking system and applied to incoming manuscripts. This is different than the Atypon Author Portal submission ID.

A submission, peer review, and sometimes production system, such as ScholarOne Manuscripts and Editorial Manager.

An ORCID (an acronym for Open Researcher and Contributor ID) is an alphanumeric code that is 16 characters long (in the format 1234-5678-9101-1231) that uniquely identifies scientific and other academic authors and contributors. ORCID is also the organization that administers the system.

For submissions that have not yet been accepted in S1M, the S1M external manuscript ID includes the Author Portal submission ID.

A person who acts on behalf of the corresponding author to manage the submission and revision process in Atypon Author Portal.

Author Portal generates a transaction ID along with a submission ID for each submission. When the submission is ingested by S1M, S1M stores the Author Portal transaction ID as an external manuscript ID.

The following is an example of a transaction ID generated by Author Portal and stored in S1M as an external manuscript ID:
