Cannot Select Same Article Type as Initial Submission

You are submitting a returned (unsubmitted) manuscript, and the article type you selected during your initial submission is no longer available from the What kind of manuscript are you submitting? > Article Type dropdown.

Why it happens

The journal no longer supports that article type.

To resolve

  1. Do not select any value from the dropdown.
    Important: If you select a different article type from the dropdown, you will not be able to later select the original article type.
    By not selecting a value from the dropdown, the article type from your initial submission will be retained for your new submission.
  2. Continue the submission process and answer the submission requirements questions.
