Through this panel, the reviewer can find the new manuscripts assigned to them (i.e. New Assignments), look through their ongoing work (i.e. Pending Assignments), look through the manuscripts they have already decided on including “Completed Assignments”, “Declined Assignments” and “Closed Assignments” (i.e. Decisions), and configure their account information and request for certifications.

The reviewer will also see a chart displaying their overall progress in the first page.

In the following all sections will be explained in greater detail.

New Assignments

Through “New Assignments” the reviewer can access a list of recent manuscripts that have been assigned to them.

By selecting the “Manuscript ID” of a specific manuscript, the reviewer is then able to decide whether to agree on reviewing that specific manuscript or declining to review it. To be able to make an informed decision, the manuscript information is also displayed at this point.

Pending Assignments

Through the “Pending Assignments” section in the left panel the reviewer can come back to their pending assignments and complete their review. By selecting this, the reviewer will be able to see a list of all the manuscripts they have agreed to review, but have not been completed yet.

By selecting the “Manuscript ID” of a specific manuscript, the reviewer can view all the information needed to complete their review. This includes the manuscript information, any related files and the manuscript evaluation form. Furthermore, the reviewer could also add any comments and recommendations for the author, and attach any necessary files for them (see figures below).

Filling in the manuscript evaluation form is the main basis for reviewing a manuscript.

Decisions

In this section, you can have access to all the manuscripts you have already decided on. These manuscripts are categorized under three different sections being “Completed Assignments”, “Declined Assignments” and “Closed Assignments”. Completed assignments are those manuscripts which you have reviewed and decided on. Declined assignments are those manuscripts which you have declined to review them, and closed assignments are those manuscripts which you have not responded to and the journal has decided on them; through this option you can get informed on the journal’s decision on the manuscript.

Certificate and Account Info

Through this section, you can configure your bank account information, and also request a review certificate from the journal. By selecting “request review certificate”, the reviewer should first select for which year they are requesting the certificate for and then select the “view” button to get a preview of the certification.

Publisher Role overview

In this user manual, we will go through the features of the publisher’s role in eJournalPlus. As previous roles, different features of the system are available through the left panel. Through this panel, the publisher has access to publishing a new article, manuscripts which are in the process of being published (i.e. In Publishing Process), manuscripts which have been published (i.e. Published), and further manage the volumes and issues of the journal through “Publisher Options”.

Publish a New Article

Here the publisher can publish a new article by giving all the information of the article such as its volume/issue, documents type, DOI, title, receive date, revise date, accept date and publish date, supplementary files, related subjects and etc. (see figures below). However the publisher is also noted that if the article they wish to publish is already accepted via the editorial system they can easily publish it from the “List of New Accepted Manuscripts” link. This way the publisher does not have to enter all the information of the article manually.

In Publishing Process

Here the publisher can find manuscripts which are in the process to be published. This includes “Accepted Manuscripts” which are those manuscripts that have been accepted to the journal, and “Galley Proofs” which are those manuscripts that are going through galley proof process.

Published

Here the publisher has access to the list of articles which have already been published and articles in press. The publisher could also export the list in Excel.

When you log in, you need to enter your website URL.

There are two methods for site verification: domain name or URL prefix. We recommend the URL prefix method because it is more flexible.

 

 

 

Keep in mind that Google considers HTTP and HTTPS as two different protocols. It also finds https://www.example.com and https://example.com as two other websites.

You need to enter the correct website URL used by the journal website.

 

After entering your correct website address in the Google webmaster tools setup wizard, click on the 'Continue' button to the next step.

Now, you need to verify ownership of your website. There are several ways to do that, but we will show the HTML tag method because it is most accessible.

Scroll on this page to see the 'HTML tag' button.

 

Click on the HTML tag to expand it and then copy the code inside it.

 

Now, you need to add this Google site verification meta tag to your journal website, so Google can verify that you are the owner of the website.

Log in to your journal website and then go to the System admin role. Then click on setting.

Click on the website settings.

 

Scroll down that page and find the Meta Tags section and click on it.

 

Paste Google Console meta tag here.

Save this page.
