Springer Nature now uses Meteor, our advanced web-based editorial platform, to manage conference proceedings submissions. Meteor streamlines every step of the process—from author registration and manuscript submission, through peer review, all the way to final paper delivery for production.
Key Features of Meteor:
- Seamless Submissions: Authors are invited to register and submit manuscripts directly through an intuitive online portal.
- Efficient Collaboration: Editors, reviewers, and authors interact and track progress within a unified dashboard, with real-time project overview and status updates.
- Flexible Review Workflow: Editors can assign reviewers, request revisions, and make decisions efficiently. The platform supports multiple review rounds and roles.
- Automated Notifications: Built-in newsletter and notification tools keep all participants informed of tasks and submission status.
- Integrated Production Export: Once all papers are accepted and finalized, Meteor forwards the complete proceedings papers in a zip package to production —ready for typesetting and publication.
- Accessibility Support: AI-powered tools are included to assist authors with accessibility requirements, such as creating alt text for images.
- Technical Support: Meteor enhances transparency, speeds up workflows, and supports multi-author, multi-paper conferences with ease. Editors and conference organizers receive robust technical support from Springer Nature throughout the process.
