How do I make changes after I have submitted an article?
Last updated on September 29, 2024After you have completed the submission process for a new or revised submission, you will be unable to make any changes while it is under review.
If changes are needed after you have finalized submission or revision, you will need to locate your submission and contact the Editorial Team, see How do I find the manuscript I submitted to an Elsevier journal? for more information.
The Journal Editorial Team will determine whether your changes are appropriate for the current status of the submission, and may ask you to wait. Depending on the status they may make the changes on your behalf, or return the submission back to you for changes.
Article Type: If the changes include changing the Article Type, note that many requirements, settings, and workflow options depend on the article type. You may be asked to provide additional information or files, and the submission may need to restart the review process.
Corresponding Author: For changes to corresponding author you must include a completed ‘Corresponding Author Change Request Form’ signed by all co-authors.
- Confirm that the new corresponding author is registered in the Journal Submission system.
- Click here to download a change request form.
- Return the completed form to us via the contact option at the bottom of this page.
- Wait for a response from the Journal office so you can make the required change.
For changes to the corresponding author during submission see How can I change the Corresponding Author of my manuscript in Editorial Manager?
