However, collaborators will not receive any other notifications.


Opting Out of Email Notifications

As a submitter, you have the choice to opt out of receiving notifications. If you decide to do this at a time when you have current submissions, we recommend signing regularly to make sure you don't miss activities that may have occurred regarding your submissions.

To opt out of receiving notifications, click your initials in the upper right of the page. Select Settings.

Scroll down to the EMAIL NOTIFICATIONS area and uncheck the box that reads, Yes, I want to receive email notifications.

Note: Even if you do uncheck this box, you will still receive notifications for password reset requests and reminders to complete any unfinished saved drafts.
