Complete a Transferred Submission

The process of transferring the submission must be initiated by an administrator of the journal to which you wish to transfer the submission. If this has occurred, you will have received a relevant notification email.
This page describes how to complete a submission that was rejected by one journal and is in the process of being transferred to another.
  1. Confirm the pre-populated data in the draft submission.
    Research Exchange Submission will pre-populate the submission draft with all the data it can collect regarding your previous, rejected, manuscript from ScholarOne.
    1. Confirm the Article Type.
    2. Confirm any journal-specific submission requirements.
    3. Confirm any additional information where prompted.
      Steps where Research Exchange Submission is unable to automatically confirm the information without your input are highlighted in red.
      Note: You cannot skip ahead to a later step before confirming the information in the current step.
  2. If necessary, resolve any discrepancies between files you included in your original, rejected, submission and the file types accepted by the journal to which you are transferring the submission.
    If such discrepancies occur, the Review Transferred Files modal is displayed. Using this modal, you can do one of the following:
    • Click Delete all unmatched files to remove all files for which there is a discrepancy from your new submission.
    • If you do not want to remove all unmatched files from your new submission, but instead want to remove only specific files, click the trashcan icon for each unmatched file you want to remove.
    • Select a new file type for an umatched file from the Destination file type dropdown.
    • Click a file name to download the file.
    1. Once you have completed your changes to unmatched files, click Confirm.
