EJP: Inviting Authors for Commissioned Article types

Under Editor in Chief Tasks:

• click Invite Potential Authors

• select manuscript type, click apply changes

• select potential commissioned due date 

• propose a title (optional)

• potential author

  • use “find” to search for author in database

  • if not in database, enter first and last name and email address—this will add the person to the JHI database

• link related manuscript by entering ms# and search

• when finished, click “save and invite authors”

• Contact potential authors screen

  • Click “send request” to see template letter. Modify accordingly.

****If inviting an academic editor as an author, there is a bug that's preventing AEs from viewing invited papers they are a potential author on. Until this is resolved, AEs will be able to be invited like any other user but you’ll need to accept on their behalf using the Accept link in the screenshot below.

Things to note: 

• You can add more than one potential author. If one declines you can ask the next one you added.

• Invited manuscripts without an accepted author will stay in the Invited Manuscripts folder under the EIC tasks

• Invited manuscripts with an accepted author will move to the Commissioned Manuscripts Pending folder under EIC tasks
