Creating an account on Janeway

Creating an account on Janeway page

From the front page of a journal, select Register to set up an account. Complete the form and activate your account using the link sent to you by email. Once your account is set up and activated, you can sign in to Janeway.

If you are an author making a submission, you don't need to create an account. One will be created as part of the submission process.

If you have been invited to review, you may be able to complete your review without creating an account if the journal has enabled one-click peer review.

If the journal is part of a press and you have access to another journal in that press, you may already have an account. Sign in using your existing credentials. If you make a submission, you automatically receive the author role. If you need other roles on the journal, ask an editor or press manager to assign the relevant roles.
