How do I update my article with a new version after submission?

After submitting an article, if you want to upload an updated version of the article, do not start a [New Submission] as this will start a whole new submission process and will give the journal manager a lot of extra work.

  1. From USER HOME, below Techneserien, follow the Author or Active link as this will take you to a page with the submissions you already have.
  2. Select the submission where you want to upload a new version of the manuscript.
  3. On the top there will be links to SUMMARY, REVIEW and EDITING. Choose REVIEW.
  4. Upload your updated manuscript below the Editor Decision headline next to Upload Author Version.

What happens after submitting?

Your article will be sent to two reviewers. The reviewers have at least two months for the blind review process. You will then receive comments on your text from both of the reviewers (Techne reviewers form). After editing your manuscript you resubmit the text along with the "Techne author form" where you outline the changes that you have done.

After an editorial review, final changes will be made if needed.

After that the author sends the manuscript to URKUND for plagiarism screening. Send your manuscript as an attached file by e-mail to

pirita.seitamaahakkarainen.hy(at)analyysi.urkund.fi

The article will then be published as soon as possible. The whole process might take up to a year. Special issues might take longer.
