How come, after I pay the fee, my manuscript is not automatically submitted and ready for the journal?
You must review and approve of each section of your submission before journal staff can access it and send it to the Editor-in-Chief. Once you have paid, your manuscript will be located inside the queue Ready for You to Proof. This allows you to replace, delete, or add documents for uploading and to change any of the responses that you provided on the Web site regarding your manuscript. You will have the chance to add or delete co-authors and keywords, and you will be able to change your responses to questions regarding paying for color figures, the declaration of commercial interest, authorship contributions, and other details. This is a good time to very carefully review everything you have submitted to ensure proper spelling and accurate answers. It is a good time to make sure that you have adhered to all journal policies, that your manuscript text and abstract comply with the journals word count restrictions, that your authorship contribution statement is located in the Authorship
