Submitting a Journal Article Online
For most journals, Brill offers the possibility of submitting articles online via Editorial Manager (EM). Editorial Manager is an online submission and peer review tracking system where authors can submit manuscripts and track their progress. Whether you are an author, editor, or reviewer, you can access EM from anywhere at any time as long as you have access to a computer with an internet connection. Each journal has its own EM page.
More information on using the system as either an author, editor, or reviewer can be found in the dedicated sections below:
Authors
First time users of EM need to register first via the ‘Register Now’ link. Once registered, you will receive an email containing your personal access codes. With these access codes you can log into the Editorial Manager website as an author and submit your manuscript for evaluation by the editors. Please make sure to consult the Instructions to Authors for the journal prior to submission to ensure that your submission is formatted correctly.

Reviewers
If the editor of a journal would like to ask you to review a manuscript, you will receive a review request via email. This invitation email will contain a link to the Editorial Manager webpage of the journal as well as your access codes (using the “Reviewer Login”). Communicating your decision as to whether you agree or decline to review to the editor, downloading the PDF file of the manuscript and eventually submitting your review comments can all be done via this website.
