If I am an Associate Editor or member of the Editorial Review Board do I need to create a User Profile before submitting a manuscript?
No. When you joined the DSJIE Editorial Team, you were asked to set up a profile that provides you access to the Author Center as well as the Center appropriate to you (Editor Center or Reviewer Center). This profile includes identifying information about you as well as the key word review/evaluation areas you consider your expertise. This means it is unnecessary to create a separate profile. You may update your profile from any Center to which you have access (Author Center, Reviewer Center, and/or Editor Center). If you wish to update your profile now, enter the Author Center to do so. Any paper submitted by an AE will be provided to another AE for processing.
