Instructions to Authors
With Our New Digital Manuscript Process
AQCH is pleased to announce Internet access for submission and review of manuscripts. Cadmus Rapid Review is providing AQCH's editorial office with state-of-the-art peer review tracking software and hosting. The Rapid Review software is a Web-based application that allows all participants in the editorial process, from authors to reviewers to editors to publishing personnel, to obtain controlled access to one common database. The user will receive step-by-step instructions on how to use the software.
The Rapid Review system will provide AQCH's participants with numerous benefits, among them:
- Authors may submit their manuscripts online. The site will ask for contact information and will then allow the author to upload files and images in multiple formats. The uploaded files will be compiled into a PDF version of the manuscript, available for review.
- Authors and reviewers can login wherever they have access to the Internet and update their contact information online, thus facilitating rapid communication. Reviewers will be able to read assigned manuscripts and critique the article and images online. Reviewer expertise can be searched to match keywords that the author provides. This will facilitate matching of papers and reviewers. Authors can login and view the status of their paper at any time during the process.
- Authors and reviewers will be notified of review decisions electronically once the editorial offices posts the decision.
Rapid Review is a huge step toward digitizing all aspects of the manuscript process. It provides a faster, more efficient, seamless link from submission through the editorial and peer review process, right through to publication.
The following links are guidelines for AQCH. Click on the links below to download the pdfs.(Acrobat Reader 5.0 is required to properly view and print the pages. Reader can be downloaded from www.adobe.com.)
