Snapp - Editing a journal

Tracking progress

Tracking and reporting in Snapp

Snapp has a number of tracking and reporting capabilities that allow you to view the status of individual submissions and help you prioritise tasks on the submissions assigned to you.

If you are a Lead Editor, you also have oversight of all submissions to your journal and ways to identify those that may need attention.

We are redesigning Snapp, so the Snapp Campus videos look slightly different from the current system. Updated videos will be released as the redesign progresses. In the meantime, you can get live guidance in our Snapp support sessions.

The Submissions tab

To check the status of a submission, go to the 'Submissions' tab.

For each submission you can see the following information:

  • assigned editor
  • editorial stage, for example 'Reviewers accepted'
  • number of reviewers invited
  • number of reviewers that accepted or declined to review
  • number of reports submitted

Submission details

You can view more detail by selecting the individual submission. 

This includes:

  • reviewer information
  • reports received and decisions
  • history of the submission
  • discussion about the submission

Using the Discussion tool

  • From the ‘Submission details’ page, select the ‘Discussion’ tab
  • You can view other comments made by editors already, and you can post your own comments
  • You can also mention other editors and upload files

If an Editor is tagged in a comment they will receive a notification in the system.

The Analytics tab

Some editors will have permission to see an additional Analytics tab.

This tab contains information including:

  • How many submissions have been received
  • How many submissions have been accepted or rejected
  • Average turnaround times
  • Which stage of the process active submissions are at
  • Turnaround times and decisions by editors
