Enhancements
[ACADEMIC EDITORS] Logic in automatic Academic Editor assignment has been unified for all decision types. This means that, for regular submissions, the default Academic Editor assignment will have the same editor for pre-check, first and final decisions.
[EMAIL TEMPLATES] Email Templates have been updated with more precise roles in the recipient fields in order to ensure that all relevant participants in the paper handling process are promptly notified of any actions and pending requests. The content of multiple templates has also been updated for more clarity.
[APPLICATION FEATURES] We built a new feature called Visibility of Reviewer Reports, offering editorial office an option to allow reviewers to view other reviewers' reports upon submitting their own. This feature is disabled by default and can be enabled at any point in the Application Features menu.
