A Beginner's Guide to Production Tracking Online
Track: Product/Industry Trends
What happens to a manuscript after it is accepted? Where does it go, who does it go to, and when does it happen? This presentation will cover the flexible potential in Manuscript Central to track accepted articles through a journal’s production process. This can be a simple export to another system, or a more complicated workflow with assignment to copyeditors and proofreaders, along with proofing and graphics checking tools. The presentation will also cover issue assignment and scheduling, and how both article-by-article and issue-based workflows can be combined in a production workflow. And finally, how multiple journals can utilize these production tracking tools in a dedicated Production Central site.
