Journal submissions

Creating a submission

1. Submissions tab → New submission; pick the manuscript version and the target journal.
2. Pre-flight checks the manuscript against the journal's limits and your checklist and lists what still needs work.
3. Collect author agreements: each co-author confirms authorship, conflicts and the submitted version from their notifications.
4. Build the package: manuscript in the journal's format, cover letter, figures, tables, supplements and the AI-use statement, zipped. Write the cover letter yourself or ask your connected agent for a draft; the “Draft with the assistant” button beside it needs platform AI switched on.

Status and history

Draft → ready → submitted → under review → revision requested → resubmitted → accepted, rejected or withdrawn. Every transition is logged with who and when; the team is notified.

Revisions

Import the decision letter: it is kept verbatim with its checksum, and each comment is decomposed into the separate things it asks for. You record what you decided about each one; the response letter is then composed from those records against the release candidate you are sending, and travels in the package beside the reviewers' own letter. See Responding to reviewers.
