• Assess revised manuscripts for the extent and quality of the changes made, and determine whether a final decision can be taken or whether further external review is needed; In the course of manuscript assessment (before or after external review), when a rejection is being rendered, identify appropriate journal(s) from within the portfolio as target titles for transfer.
• When a rebuttal is submitted, review the arguments and take appropriate action promptly : Pilot Projects / Special Projects Participate in proof-of-concept projects
