Editor Resources

This Editor resources course is not a traditional e-learning course. Rather, this is a collection of useful resources outlining best practice for handling editorial situations that you may encounter as an Editor for a Springer Nature journal. Each resource title reflects an editorial situation or problem, and presents a flowchart and template letters for managing that issue. You do not have to do the whole course, but instead jump to the topic for which you need help.

About this resource

This single-module course presents a list of topics where Springer Nature editors may encounter problems. Each topic has a flowchart and, where appropriate, template letters. These resources can be used as a guide for managing the situations according to best practice.

Who should use this resource?

This course has been written for all editors at Springer Nature who handle manuscripts. Some topics may not be useful for editors in specific fields, but you don't need to go through them all - it is possible to jump to a specific topic. You can leave and return to this course at any time.

What will I learn in this resource?

You will be taken through the various paths that a problem can commonly take, with the best option for handling each situation outlined. It is not possible to cover every variation and nuance that each can present, so the intent is not to be dogmatic. Instead, we offer a solid foundation for good management of common situations that editors can encounter when handling manuscripts.
