Atla Open Press: Assignment

This guide provides information for authors, prospective authors, readers and editors of the publications of Atla Open Press

Summary

Every submission has to be paired with a responsible editor who will shepherd it through the publication process. The EiC’s first task is to make these assignments.

Submission Assignment: Steps

New submissions prompt a notification to the EiC and appear on the EiC’s dashboard under Submissions in the Unassigned tab.
The EiC clicks the View button to the right of the submission. This will open the Workflow view showing the Submission tab.
On the Workflow > Submission tab, click Assign under the Participants heading on the right-hand side of the screen.
The desired editor can be selected and contacted from the resulting panel. The EiC makes a selection, writes an appropriate message (or selects an appropriate template), and clicks OK.
