A new original submissions are counted as a one submission.
It is important for the user of Origin Reports to know how their journal’s decisions are setup in their manuscript handling system. If the decision is setup as a “revise” type of decision, such that the resubmitted/revised manuscript does NOT get a new manuscript number, then it will only be counted as one submission. If the decision is setup as a ‘reject’ type of decision but the author is allowed to submit a revised version of the manuscript as a NEW manuscript, then the submission will be counted as two original manuscripts. You can determine how manuscripts will be counted by opening your cvs file in Excel or a similar program and checking the Final Decision Family column. Any manuscript with a term in this column will get a new manuscript number IF it is resubmitted, which would mean that it would be counted twice by Origin Reports and the manuscript handling systems. If there is not a term in the Final Decision Family column, then the manuscript will have the same manuscript number when it is resubmitted and will only be counted as one submission.
This example might help clarify the issue:
An author submits their manuscript for the first time and the manuscript handling system gives it the number: AAA-20-00100.
*If the submission receives a ‘revise’ type decision (e.g., minor revision, major revision, revise and resubmit, etc), then when the manuscript is resubmitted and the manuscript number does not change except for a possible revision extension (e.g., AAA-20-00100.R1), it will be considered a revision and not a new original manuscript. This manuscript would only be counted as one submission.
If the submission receives a decision that is setup by your journal as a reject type final decision (e.g., reject, reject and resubmit, reject and revise, reject on language grounds, etc.) and a resubmission is allowed but the manuscript now receives a NEW manuscript number (e.g., AAA-20-00130), Origin Reports would count this submission as two submissions, since there were two independent manuscript numbers.
