XML-packages received from Editorial Manager provide information about the "history" of the article. When was it received? When was it reviewed, accepted and published?

For articles that are not submitted through Editorial Manager, this information is in general not available. If provided in another way, the information can be included as well in the XML and - if applicable - PDF.

If not there, they are kindly asked to place a so-called author query (AQ) in the styled author proof.
