Mostly you have to fill out information and upload your manuscript files concerning invited papers. To access those invited papers follow the link under //Author Resources// or you click on the //Invited Manuscripts// queue to get a list of all invited papers at the bottom. \\ \\
HINT: Also unsubmitted papers are declared as invited papers. Unsubmitted manuscripts had been submitted by you before, but after the editors checked the paper they assess mistakes, e.g. you uploaded the wrong manuscript files. \\ \\
Furthermore sometimes a revision of a manuscript is needed. This can happen, when the content itself has to be changed. Follow the corresponding links. \\ \\

This process is free of a revision or a paper that will be sent for the first time. Now you have to fill out all needed information (see //req// statements next to the question) and upload your manuscript files. Please note that some information was filled out by the editors. If necessary / possible you can correct this given information on your own. \\ \\
