Managing available templates

About templates

Templates are used by the Authors to format their manuscript before submission. Library Admins maintain the templates and upload them within Branding for their researchers to download in the first stage of the Authoring flow. The template should include instructions on the first page of how to use the template and a structured template.

How the template selector looks for Authors in the Authoring flow

Authors will access your University's templates through the Authoring flow. After selecting the University from their approved affiliations they will be shown the the available template or templates to download. They will then use this template off platform to create their manuscript before continuing in the Authoring flow.
