Added a new column to the Ingestion Status Report called ‘Notification’ with a hyperlinked pop-up. This allows Submission Integration clients to see contents from the Notification Services Report directly in the Ingestion Status Report.
Users
None, available by default.
If ScholarOne has triggered a notification in relation to the success or failure of the listed ingestion, this column will contain a link with the text “View”.
Clicking this link will bring up the same notification detail pop-up provided in the Notification Services Report which contains stats, the notification payload, and a record of all attempts to deliver the message.
If there is more than one end point, the notifications will stack when the pop up opens.
Added the display of attached files on Decision Letters and Author responses as part of “getDecisionCorrespondenceFull”.
Users
No configuration required, included with the release.
Added the following fields for each attached file as part of “getDecisionCorrespondenceFull”:
Added additional support for RightsLink Agreement Manager. RightsLink can now inform authors of available Open Access (OA) publication funding throughout the manuscript lifecycle, starting with submission. For more information on the RightsLink updates available in ScholarOne Manuscripts see the Jan 27, 2021 press release from the Copyright Clearance Center.

Added a configurable option to Map publicationModel to RightsLink ‘other’ field. This update to the CCC RightstLink integration will allow hybrid journals to provide publication preferences to the submitter directly.
Users

Added the ability to support RightsLink Promotion Codes in the Open Access submission process. This provides the ability to send RightsLink the answer text or answer name for any custom question. This allows Publishers to map a different response to RightsLink than that shown to the user when needed.
Then second value add for this enhancement is the ability to send the Promotion Code custom question directly to a pre-configured RightsLink datafield in the “additionalInfo” area of the JSON file.
Users

Added a new section called “Decision Custom Questions” to the ‘View Review Details’ pop-up on Transfer Review Details. This enables Editors to view answers to pre-transfer Decision Custom Questions from transferred papers on the receiving site.
Users
Some configuration required, reach out to your usual ScholarOne contact.
When a paper is transferred between sites in ScholarOne, the Audit Trail record of the transfer on the receiving site includes a link called “View Transferred Review Details”. Answers provided to Decision Custom Questions from the sending site are now included in the transfer data found via the “View Transferred Review Details” link.
If the transferred manuscript has decision custom questions to display, they are shown in read only format. If the transferred manuscript does not have decision custom questions to display, the text “No custom question responses were entered” will appear.
Added the manuscript proof to the same screen where Document Analysis widgets live. This time savings value add allows Editors to view the manuscript alongside the Technical Checks.

More information about Document Analysis is available in the 4.22 Release Notes.
