Invited Author Notification

The Invited Author Notification is triggered when an author is invited to a manuscript stub in the ScholarOne Manuscripts system. This event indicates that an invitation has been sent to a potential author to complete or contribute to a pre-created manuscript entry and contains key metadata about the manuscript stub.

Each notification delivers a message payload that includes:

Common metadata about the manuscript stub
Author identification information
System identifiers to support integration traceability

submissionTitle `Cultural navigation through the hemispheric situation`	String	The full title of the manuscript as provided by the author during submission.
