New Feature
Online Proofreading
JAMS now supports in-app author and editor proofreading. Online Proofreading provides authors with an easy way to proofread their work online and collaborate on a manuscript with editors. Both authors and editors can therefore stay aligned throughout the proofreading stage, making it simpler to manage revisions and respond to feedback.
Important: Online Proofreading is only available if the user has opted into JAMS Production Services. To discuss our Production Services, please reach out to support@jams.pub.

Enhancements
Update Manuscript ID Prefix
Users can now update their journal’s manuscript ID prefix. This is the unique journal’s identifier for each manuscript that is formatted like this ‘abc-123’. It helps editors quickly identify and find the manuscript and journal without having to memorise titles.
Users can now edit the Manuscript ID prefix in the Journal Settings. The user can locate the journal they’d like to edit and click the pencil icon. This will then update the manuscript ID prefixes for that journal and future DOI strings.
