It does not go to any other system such as webpages until it passes this review.You will not be able to edit the record during this timeOur team will check each record to ensure compliance with publisher policies to ensure we can use the file version you have uploaded. They will add any embargos or licenses to the file.If there is something missing or wrong with your record the team will email you and save the record as entry in progress, if will not be looked at again until you respond to the email or update the record and save if for validation again.They may change the access restrictions to your file based on publisher requirementsWhen a publisher doesn’t specify a license the team will add the University Accepted Manuscript license to appropriate files so end users know how they can use your workThe team check the record in order of last modified date.
