J-HyTEL is pleased to introduce Track My Submission, a private author portal designed to provide a clearer view of each manuscript’s progress through the editorial and publication workflow.
The portal presents the current stage of a submission and may display the following journey:
- Submission received
- Editorial screening
- Peer review
- Author revision
- Accepted
- Copyediting
- Production
- Published
Authors can also view the next action required, access the corresponding OJS workflow record, and download official documents when they have been issued, including Letters of Acceptance, invoices, payment receipts, and author certificates.
How to use Track My Submission- Sign in using the OJS account connected to the manuscript.
- Open the Track My Submission page.
- Select the manuscript you wish to review.
- Check its current stage, completed stages, upcoming stages, and any required author action.
- Use the linked OJS workflow page to upload revisions, respond to discussions, or complete production-related tasks.
The portal is private. A submission is visible only to a signed-in user whose OJS account is connected to that manuscript as an author participant. This normally includes the submitting or corresponding author and any co-author who has been granted author access in OJS.
Reviewers cannot use this portal to view an author’s tracking record, and authors cannot view submissions belonging to other users.
If a manuscript does not appear, authors should confirm that they are using the correct OJS account. When requesting assistance, please provide the manuscript title and Submission ID through the official contact page.
Displayed processing periods are indicative workflow targets and do not constitute a guaranteed editorial decision date. Actual processing time may vary according to manuscript complexity, reviewer availability, revision requirements, and additional editorial checks.
