How can I follow up on the progress of my submission through the online platform of the journal?

Tracking your manuscript's progress is typically feasible through the journal's dedicated online submission system, where authors monitor status updates. To follow progress, log into your unique account on the platform. Navigate to the "Author Center", "My Submissions", or similarly labeled section to view your manuscript(s). Key status indicators, such as "With Editor", "Under Review", "Required Revisions", or "Decision Made", will be displayed alongside each submission; refer to the journal's specific guide for interpreting these accurately. Regularly check the system dashboard and your associated email account, as notifications for status changes or editor requests are often sent automatically. Platform features may also include direct links to upload revisions or view decision letters and reviewer reports. Implement this by first accessing the journal's website and logging in using your credentials. Proceed to the section containing your active submissions. Examine the listed manuscripts for their current status and any associated actions required. For any significant status changes or requested actions, you will generally receive an automated email prompt. Consult the journal's author guidelines online for detailed explanations of specific status terms if uncertain.
