Generic systems

Instructions and steps may vary from journal to journal, depending on the system they use but if you don't know what system your author is using these may be best.

Instructions for Authors:

1. Find your journal submission page. Log in.
2. Navigate to the paper you'd like to archive. Most journals divide your submissions in different categories, such as "new submissions" or "submitted manuscripts", "revisions" and "manuscripts with a decision" or "post decision manuscripts". Category names may vary from journal to journal.
3. Choose a version you can archive and download it. You usually don't want the final version in a list, as that is a publisher's version (distinctive as it'll have the publisher logo on it) which isn't possible to archive.
