Checking Proofs

When your submission is accepted, production starts and the Production tab opens on the submission's page. When the production team shares a proof, you receive an e-mail and a panel notification.

1. Open the submission on the Author & reviewer → My submissions screen.
2. Switch to the Production tab. The newest proof is at the top.
3. Press Open proof on the proof's card. The proof opens in a new tab.
4. Enter your corrections in the Correction / comment field, giving the page and the line for each.
5. Press Send comment.

Your comment goes to the person assigned to the job. If nobody is assigned to the job, everyone who manages production is notified. The production team's replies and notes appear on the same card.

Parts of the tab

The note at the top of the tab shows the job's stage in the Production status line. Each proof card shows the version number, the date it was shared, the production team's note and the correspondence. The download button on the right of the card downloads the proof's file.

Once the job has been published or cancelled, comments can no longer be written on the proofs, and a note in place of the comment field on the card says so. If something needs correcting, send the editors a message. When your work is published, the View publication button appears on the submission's page and opens the publication's page on the public site.
