If you use, or have used, different email addresses in an Editorial Manager journal, you may have multiple accounts/profiles. This sometimes makes it difficult to remember all the email addresses and passwords associated with them, or to determine which account has been assigned to a submission.

Multiple profiles for a user are created in Editorial Manager for various reasons:

• During peer review, Editors locate potential reviewers in various ways, and may find alternate email addresses online or via your publication history.
• By sending a reviewer invitation to an unregistered email address, an account is created that would be activated only if you complete registration.
• Co-authors may be added during submission with an alternate email address. You may then register an account for that alternate address during the co-author verification process.
• Historical reviews and submissions may have been done via older email addresses.

In each Editorial Manager journal, we are able to merge your accounts under a single profile. The benefits of merging include:

• All invitations and correspondence from that journal sent to your preferred email address.
• One username and password for you to recall.
• All history in the journal is combined in one account.
