The article authors (either the department editors or invited contributors) will create free Authorea accounts and either create or import existing article text onto the platform. All authors should be included on the Authorea article with names and affiliations as they should appear in print. Once complete (and the authors have verified that the requirements for department articles have been met as described in Section \ref{821585} above), the authors submit to the CiSE collection on Authorea by pressing the "..." menu, "View all options" and then selection the option to "Submit your document to a collection" (search for "Computing in Science and Engineering").    

2. Article review and copy editing 

Once submitted to the collection, Authorea notifies the EiC and AEiC/D of the submission and they will either review and copy edit the article if the department editors themselves are the authors of the article, or assign the department editors as reviewers in the case of contributed content. The reviewers will then complete their review within Authorea, and communicate required changes as needed with the authors. Authors should implement changes in the original Authorea document rather than creating a new document.
Once authors and the department editor(s) have completed changes and agree that the article is ready to proceed to publication, the AEiC/D will complete a final review and copy editing pass. It is convenient but not required at this stage for the authors to add the AEiC/D as a contributor (hidden from the authors list) so that minor corrections and copy edits can be make quickly without bothering the authors or department editors. This will not impact publication credit.
