Author Supplementary Materials like video and audio (Preprint Manager Feature)

This feature allows Authors to submit audio, video, movie and other files that are not possible to build into a PDF format.  These files will be accessible via a link in the PDF, similar to the ‘download high-resolution image’ link that exists in the current version of EM.

 

There is a checkbox in the ‘Edit Master Submission Item Types’ page in PolicyManager and in the ‘Edit Submission Item Type’ page (where the journal can edit the properties of each Submission Item) to indicate that the Submission Item should appear as a hyperlink in the PDF.  This means that the PDF builder does not attempt to build the file into the PDF, but instead, displays a link so that the file can be downloaded.

 

Note:  All uploaded files must pass a virus check, whether or not they are built into the PDF, or accessed via a link in the PDF

 

A Submission Item that is accessible via a link in the PDF must also be configured for each Article Type (in PolicyManager, Edit Article Type) just like all other Submission Items.  For example, a Submission Item called ‘Video’ might be included in the list of Submission Items for an Article Type called ‘Case Study’.  The Video item might be ‘Optional’, offline submission might be ‘Optional’, the item might be included in the Reviewer PDF, the Publisher might get the file, and the item might be included in the WebFirst PDF.
