Manuscript Submission Notification

The Manuscript Submission Notification is triggered when an author submits a manuscript in the ScholarOne Manuscripts system. This event indicates the submission of a manuscript to a journal and contains key metadata and tracking elements to support downstream integrations.

Each notification delivers a message payload that includes:

Common metadata about the submission
Identifying details about the submission event
System identifiers to support integration traceability
