Once registered, authors will not be required to REGISTER again. They may submit another manuscript to the same journal or any other Bentham OPEN journal using the same USER ID and PASSWORD.

The Author can type the keyword in the search field to search the relevant journal an indicated by an arrow.

Peer-Reviewing and Editorial Decision

Journals Editors receive an email alert for a new submission and must then assign reviewers on the manuscript. The reviewers receive a notification email requesting for peer-reviewing the assigned manuscript. Interested reviewers submit their comments online. Alternatively, they may decline the activity online. Authors receive a peer-reviewing completion notification with the editorial decision by email. The authors may retrieve the reviewers’ comments from MPS. Revised manuscripts must be submitted along with a response letter. Manuscripts will be subjected to final reviewing by the Reviewers/Editors and an editorial decision will be duly conveyed to the authors regarding their submitted work.

Online Paper Tracking

Authors may track all the stages of publication online until their manuscript is finalized and is ready for publication. Log onto MPS and click the article title from the available list of your submitted manuscripts to view the detailed status at every stage of peer-review and editorial decision.
