QUICK OVERVIEW

Editorial Manager is a role based system and your registration will guide you through different tasks according to the permissions set up for you by the Editorial Office. Should you have multiple roles, you can change role from the drop down menu .

• If you received an invitation to review a paper from a Journal using EM, then you do not need to register with the system. 

• Registering with a Journal EM system will provide you the ability to submit manuscripts as an author. 

• If you register with the Journal’s EM system, that does not mean you will automatically be assigned reviews by the editors. In order to become a reviewer for a journal, you will need to write to the journal office and formally offer your services. If the Journal accepts, you will be given reviewer login privileges and may begin to receive assignments from the editors. 

You can set your default (preferred) log in role from your “Update my Personal Information” page. Remember that you may have different tasks for each of your roles (Author, Reviewer, Editor) and you must access each role to see and follow them.
You will be able to change your username and password. Fields marked by asterisks (*) are required and cannot be left empty. You must also check off your Personal Classifications (areas of expertise). When you are satisfied with the information you have provided, click the “Submit and Proceed” button at the bottom to proceed.
