Use Your Account for the Work Assigned to You

Authors can follow submission status and respond to editorial requests. Reviewers can access only the manuscripts and tasks assigned through the journal workflow. Editors use role-based access for decisions, correspondence, and record management.

A login page should not expose manuscript details, reviewer identities, or account data in public search results. Session controls and password recovery belong inside the secure account process.

Practical detail

  • Use a unique password and trusted device.
  • Keep unpublished work confidential.
  • Verify unexpected payment or access requests.
  • Report suspected account misuse promptly.

Common questions

Questions Readers and Contributors Ask

Can readers access articles without signing in?

Public access depends on the license and access model shown on each article record, not on a private workflow account.

What if I no longer use my institutional email?

Update your profile when possible or contact the journal with enough information to verify the account safely.

Should reviewers download files to a shared device?

Confidential review material should be handled only on devices and storage locations that protect access.

Use the Official Journal Workflow

Sign in only through the journal route and verify unexpected requests before sharing information.
