How the screens fit together

Kotahi is a set of connected screens. This is how they fit together. The three marked in green are the ones to learn first — between them they cover most of what an editorial team does day to day.

1. Dashboard — where most people start. New submissions begin here, and each person sees the research objects they are involved with. See Dashboard.
2. Submission page — where an author supplies the metadata and files for a new submission. See Submission page.
3. Manuscripts page — a configurable list of every research object in the group, available to Group Managers, Group Admins and Admins. See Manuscripts page.
4. Control page — where review rounds, tasks and decisions are coordinated for one manuscript. An editor works here, on the manuscripts they have been assigned. See Control page.
5. Review page — where a reviewer reads the submission and writes their review. See Review page.
6. Production page — where publication-ready files are prepared, including PDFs and author proofing. See Production page.
7. Settings — configuration for the group. See Settings: general.
8. Public website — where you build and edit the site your readers see. See Publish through the CMS.
