NEW EDITOR ASSIGNMENTS

Back
When the Editor in Chief thinks a submission belongs to your area of expertise, you will receive its assignment by email. You may access your assignment directly from the deep link in the email or from your “Associate Editor Main Menu”. Log in as Editor using your username and password,  the manuscript will be in the folder “New Assignments”.

 
Your menu is divided in:

Submission with, which represents a shortcut to manuscripts under review
Search area, to help you in searching either submissions or people in the database;
Editor to-do list, which is where all your tasks can be found;
Submissions with decision, which is an archive of all your completed tasks.

You are required to invite reviewers and follow the review process, supplying your final comments to the Editor in Chief. The Editor in Chief will take care of informing the Author of your recommendation. Should you have recommended a review, it may be possible for the revised manuscript to be returned to you for a comment on its revision.

If you wish to review the manuscript yourself, you need to appoint yourself as a Reviewer and then switch role from Associate Editor to Reviewer in the top right drop-down menu. Should you need additional information on how to complete a review, please refer to the Reviewer Tutorial available at www.editorialmanager.com/jnephrol.

For each submission in your Pending Assignment folder the following screen will appear:
Viewing the submission
Editors, Reviewers and Authors may view any version of a submission when they click on the “View Submission” link. The “View Submission” link will open up a window from which the user may select which version of the submission they would like to view. For example, when a submission has been through one or more revisions, the user can access the initial submission, and each subsequent revision. If there is only one version of the PDF, then that version will open immediately, bypassing the window. You may save a and print a copy of the manuscript from the pdf file: select the “File” menu (top left corner) and select “Print”.

About Multiple Versions: To view the versions side by side, check your Acrobat Reader settings to find the 'cascade' setting. Cascade will allow the user to set Acrobat Reader windows side by side.

Figures: All PDFs are created at 72 dots per inch, which means that some images may not be as crisp or clear as the original source file, and does not mean the original file is poor. The reason the PDF is built at this resolution is to reduce the size of the PDF so that downloading of the PDF is less burdensome to Reviewers and Editors, especially those who do not have high-speed Internet connections or are doing their work remotely. However, if you wish to download high-quality versions of the figures, please set your Adobe Acrobat for this action by doing the following:

1. Open the program and click Edit.
2. Choose Preferences, then Web Capture.
3. Next to Open Web Links, choose In Web Browser, then click OK.

Each figure should have an option at the top of the page to download the high-resolution original. After clicking the link, you will be prompted to save the figure to your disk or open it in a browser. The file should then open in the default program for that kind of file according to your computer’s current settings.
