Organizing Publication and Submitting Papers to Publisher

Arranging papers into a Table of Contents and Submitting to Publisher

Once your peer review process has finished and you have accepted all the papers you would like to include, select the Publication tab.

 

Here, you can set up sections for your Table of Contents by clicking the drop down box titled 'Open':

 

Here, you can click '+Add Section' to add your first Headline in your Table of Contents:

 

A box will appear asking you to give a name for the section.

 

Things to note:

• For small volumes, a single section called Papers is sufficient.

• It is recommended to set up several sections for volumes with more than 50 or so papers.

Now you will see the sections you created under Table of Contents.

(In this scenario, there is one section called 'Papers' as there were only three papers submitted and approved for publication.)

Select Papers from the Ready for Publication list to include them in the Table of Contents.

 

Click on the section you wish to add them to. In this scenario, the three papers have been added to the 'Papers' section, as shown below.

 

Things to note:

• All accepted papers [regardless of whether they are just decided or already notified] are listed in the Ready for Publication list.

• You can select the desired position of a Paper between two existing papers.

• You can also drag and drop Papers into the desired order after inserting them in the Table of Contents.

• You can see details of a paper by clicking on the corresponding row in the Ready for Publication list.

• You can add another section at any point by clicking the blue '+Add a section' button
