+# Publishing Workflow
+
+## Quick Start
+Navigate the complete publishing workflow from submission to publication, including peer review, revisions, and final acceptance through Curvenote's collaborative platform
+
+## Before You Start
+- Ensure your article is complete and ready for submission
+- Have your author information and affiliations ready
+- Understand the journal's scope and requirements
+- Prepare for the peer review process
+
+## 1. Submit Your Article
+
+Submit your paper by creating a pull request to the journal's repository:
+
+- **Fork the repository** to your GitHub account
+- **Create a new branch** for your submission
+- **Add your manuscript** to the appropriate folder (e.g., `papers`)
+- **Open a pull request** to merge your branch into the main repository
+- **Include all required metadata** (authors, affiliations, abstract, DOIs)
+
+The pull request serves as the primary hub for discussion and review.
+
+## 2. Automated Checks and Preview
+
+Upon submission, automated checks verify your submission:
+
+- **Template compliance** - Ensures adherence to journal formatting
+- **Metadata validation** - Checks for required author information
+- **Reference verification** - Validates DOI inclusion in citations
+- **Preview generation** - Creates a live preview accessible via GitHub comment
+
+Address any failed checks before proceeding to review.
+
+## 3. Editorial Assignment
+
+An editor is assigned to oversee your submission:
+
+- **Scope assessment** - Editor evaluates if your topic fits the journal
+- **Quality review** - Initial evaluation of submission completeness
+- **Process guidance** - Editor explains next steps and timeline
+- **Reviewer selection** - Editor identifies appropriate peer reviewers
+
+## 4. Peer Review Process
+
+Reviewers provide feedback through the GitHub pull request:
+
+- **Expert evaluation** - Subject matter experts assess your work
+- **Public discussion** - All feedback is visible and transparent
+- **Inline comments** - Specific suggestions for improvements
+- **General feedback** - Overall assessment and recommendations
+
+Reviewers are tagged (`@username`) for notifications and communication.
+
+## 5. Author Revisions
+
+Respond to reviewer feedback with revisions:
+
+- **Address comments** - Make changes based on reviewer suggestions
+- **Update pull request** - Add new commits with your revisions
+- **Explain changes** - Provide context for major modifications
+- **Iterate as needed** - Multiple revision cycles may be required
+
+## 6. Final Decision and Acceptance
+
+The editor makes the final decision:
+
+- **Reviewer satisfaction** - All reviewers must approve the final version
+- **Editor approval** - Assigned editor reviews final submission
+- **Merge to main** - Pull request is merged, indicating acceptance
+- **Publication preparation** - Article moves to publication phase
+
+## 7. Publication and Distribution
+
+Your accepted article becomes publicly available:
+
+- **Curvenote publication** - Article is published on the platform
+- **DOI assignment** - Permanent identifier is assigned
+- **Journal listing** - Article appears on the journal's website
+- **Community announcement** - Publication is shared through appropriate channels
