EMS Editorial System for Journals - Instructions for Editors

Article submission

Authors should be directed to the online article submission page on each journal's homepage through the link Online article submission at the top of the Instructions for Authors section and in the section text itself.

Among the mandatory entries to be made, the author chooses an editor for his or her article from a pull-down menu. The menu lists the names of the journal's editors as they are registered in our database and declared eligible. If only one editor is so registered, the menu is suppressed.

A submitting author receives an automatic mail with a link to 'step 2' of the submission procedure, where he can upload a pdf file and thereby confirm the submission. This procedure makes sure that, and works only if, a valid email was given and therefore helps to avoid bogus submissions.

When the submitter completes step 2, a notification mail to the selected (or the only eligible) editor is released and the submission is automatically entered into the actual system.
