Did You Know?

Did you know that you can use Editorial Manager’s file inventory anytime to store non-manuscript files, and ultimately to export, if needed to a third party system?

For example, you can create a submission item to accommodate a copy edited version of the manuscript in the file inventory. To do this, configure a submission item type so that the PDF handling designation is set to “Companion File (not built into PDF)” or ask your AC for assistance.

As companion files, post-acceptance files can be included in exports, color coded for fast recognition, and can be replaced as needed in the file inventory.
