Collaboration

As a corresponding author, you can invite co-authors and others to be collaborators. These collaborators can make edits, suggest changes, etc. When you invite collaborators, you assign them a level of access and a time duration during which they can work on the article. For any given collaborator, you can choose one of the following access levels:

Levels of Access

• Comment Only: The collaborators can insert comments to the corresponding author.
• Editing Only: The collaborators can edit text and insert comments to the corresponding author.
• Editing & Query Response: The collaborators can edit text, insert comments to the corresponding author, and respond to queries.
• Full Proxy: The collaborators have full proxy for the corresponding author, including editing, commenting, responding to queries, managing collaborators, and submitting the final edited document.
