Every user will receive email notification for:

• New articles;

Publish new article

1. Create new Article (under Content Manager).

2. Edit mandatory fields:

   • Title: Use English title;
   • Language: Original language;
   • URL: URL of original publication;
   • Excerpt: Short English abstract of the publication (note: this is the main teaser for others to share!);
   • Images: Add at least one image, typically the feature image of the publication.
   • Origin: Select your magazine in drop-down list;

3. Edit optional fields:

   • Attachments: Add attachment, e.g., with content text, formatting, etc. (max 10MB per upload);
   • Articla data (URL): Add external resource, e.g., Google Drive link with content data.

4. Publish the article.

   • Note: You may want to keep the article as draft as long as needed.
   • IMPORTANT: AS SOON AS YOUR ORIGINAL ARTICLE IS ONLINE, DO PUBLISH IT PROMPTLY IN THE EMGUIDE TOOL TOO!
     • Rationale: Other editors will otherwise not learn about the new article and cannot consider it for sharing.

5. Be ready for sharing requests:

   • Try not to unsubscribe your own article;
   • If others comment on the article (to ask questions etc.), be responsive;
   • If somebody creates a Translation Request, be proactive (propose translator etc.);

Share article

First, check new articles and stay tuned:

• You'll be automatically notified on each new published article;
• Subscribe for articles that you're interested in.

To share an article you don't need a translation for

• Notify author via new comment;
• Use comments to ask the author to provide all necessary article data (via Attachments or Article Data (URL));
• Once published, add new publication URL under URLs;

To share an article you do need a translation for:

• Create new Translation Request and in it
  • Select the article subject to translation;
  • Specify target language (the one you're creating a a translation request for);
  • Set open status of the new translation;
• In the Article: Use the comments to discuss and arrange translation details;
  • For example, pick a good translator and decide who will be responsible for managing the translation process;
  • Hint: Use the Translation data (URL) and Attachments fields to share translation data (translated article etc.)
• In the Translation Request: Once the translation is done: update done status of the new translation;
• In the Article: Once the shared content is published, add new publication URL under URLs ;
