Frequently asked
What's the difference between authors and editors?
Authors (regular users) submit research papers and track their review status. Editors are the editorial team — they review submissions, leave comments, and publish accepted papers.
How do I apply to become an editor?
Editor accounts require approval from the editorial board. You can apply via the "Apply to join the editorial team" link in the Editor sign-in panel. Approval typically takes 2–3 business days.
Can I have both an author and editor account?
Yes — but you'll need separate accounts for each role. We recommend using different email addresses to avoid confusion.
