Benefits of article transfers at Karger include:

  • Time-saving: Authors can avoid the hassle of reformatting and resubmitting their manuscripts from scratch.
  • Preserved Reviews: Transferring previous peer reviews allows authors to benefit from constructive feedback without starting over, thereby reducing reviewer burden by ensuring that the efforts of prior reviewers are not wasted.
  • Faster decision times: Article transfers can speed up the overall peer review process by saving time and effort for both, authors and editors compared to outright rejection and re-submission. 

As an Editor, you play a crucial role in implementing our article transfers service effectively. To support you, we have created  comprehensive guidance  which provides step-by-step information on the article transfer process and its benefits for your journal, authors, and the academic community.
