VAE Workflow

A Janeway workflow plugin for managing Voluntary Academic Editor (VAE) article claiming and assignment.

Requirements

• Janeway 1.7.0+

Installation

1. Place the vae_workflow folder in your Janeway src/plugins/ directory.
2. Add plugins.vae_workflow to INSTALLED_APPS in your Janeway settings file.
3. Run the install command:

python manage.py install_plugins vae_workflow

4. In the Janeway manager, add the VAE Claiming stage to your journal's workflow.

Configuration

Once installed, navigate to the VAE Workflow manager to:

• Add and remove VAEs from the pool
• View articles currently in the claiming stage

How it works

1. An editor moves an article into the VAE Claiming stage.
2. VAEs in the pool can view available articles and claim one as Handling Editor.
3. Once claimed, the article is assigned to that VAE for further handling.
