ScholarOne Manuscripts Ideas

Thank you for adding so many additional manuscript flags! I noticed that you merged into this idea several others that also asked for additional account flags. Does that mean you will be adding more of those as well? My journal needs more than the 9 currently available. Thanks!

We will officially announce with the 4.26.2 release in May, but we added additional flags earlier this week to help Publishers / Journals that need to flag manuscripts related to COVID-19. Reporting is not quite available with the new flags though. Reporting on the new flags will come with the 4.26.2 release in May.

Our journal requires additional flags to track projects. Having more would be very helpful.

Good idea, as it is a great help in labelling the articles!

This would be very helpful to have addition flags, we use these a lot and the default number of flags is not sufficient.

Thank you.

We find the manuscript flags to be very helpful; the fixed number is not sufficient for our purposes. Can more be added?

Can we have more flags? We have run out on some journals. I understand EM offers more than 300! Hey everyone, can you help to  drum up support by  posting comments!! Phil Hurst, The Royal Society.

Yes please! I know you have added more but in the long term journals will need more than this.  And it would be good if this was configurable by admins  with warnings about deletion and change affecting historic papers (eg are you sure? this will affect past papers too. Yes/No)  Doesn't need to be a configuration level permission.

Another good idea.

Appreciate the suggestion - more flags will be available following our next release.

We just asked our teams what they'd use extra flags for - they came up with 15 additional uses!

I'd add the need to increase the number of people flags to this too - four is not enough!

Good Idea!!!

Good Idea @Sasha

Instead of shapes and colors, I suggest the use of text "flags" which can be configured and managed at the administrator level.

Not sure that this is a good idea.

I agree that manuscript flags are great tools, but the problem is that the number of actual combinations of shapes and colors that will be unambiguously legible is limited, and I'm concerned that we may have already exceeded that number.  For example, we currently have green and blue circles - but whether these are clearly distinguishable depends on the characteristics of the user's monitor.  It wouldn't be very helpful to add more flags if those flags are subject to misinterpretation.
