Does Scholastica support revise and resubmit (R&R) functionality?
Yes!
After making a decision of "revise and resubmit" for a manuscript, the author will be invited to submit a new version of their article. The journal will then be able to separately review the new version of the manuscript as well as link back to previously submitted versions of that manuscript.
Editors can also optionally set a revision deadline when issuing an R&R decision. When a deadline is set, the author will see the due date in their decision email and on their dashboard, and will receive automatic email reminders until they resubmit. Learn more about R&R deadlines here.
A manuscript that was resubmitted through the R&R functionality:
To access the previous version(s) of a manuscript that has been resubmitted:
- Navigate to the manuscript work area
- Scroll down the page, past the Abstract & Keywords header until you've reached the "Versions" header
- Click the link to access your desired version of the manuscript (the version number and submission date can be found in light grey under each link).
Inviting Reviewers
If you need to invite reviewers to read and review the revised version (v2) of the manuscript, you can do so by clicking on the 'Reviewers' tab. You will find the list of reviewers that submitted reviews for the previous version of the manuscript in a grey box near the center of the page.
Click on the reviewer's names (blue links) to invite your former reviewers or invite entirely new reviewers by clicking the blue 'Invite Reviewer' button.
