How can I check the status of my submission through the journal's website?

To check the submission status through a journal's website, authors must log into their account on the journal's online submission and peer review system. This functionality is typically available after successful submission login. Access requires the author account credentials (username and password) used during manuscript submission. Locate the "Author Center", "My Submissions", or similarly labelled section within the portal after logging in. Submitted manuscripts are usually listed here, displaying their current stage in the editorial workflow (e.g., "With Editor," "Under Review," "Decision Pending"). Accuracy depends on the editor updating the system, while precise navigation varies by the specific platform employed by the journal. Begin by navigating to the journal's official website and finding the link to the online submission system login page. Log in using your registered author credentials. Once logged in, proceed to the dashboard or author workspace section specifically designated for active submissions. Identify your relevant manuscript title from the list provided; its current status will be clearly indicated adjacent to the title within this interface. Contact the editorial office directly only if the status appears unclear, incorrect after a significant period, or if access issues prevent login.
