55#### Editorial Manager
66
77Submissions to most Elsevier journals are handled via the [Editorial Manager®](https://elsevier.com/editor/submission-systems) online manuscript submission and peer review system. When you create or confirm an Editorial Manager account for a journal, certain personal information is required, such as your name and email address. Some journals may require or provide you the option to add other information, such as postal address, institutional affiliation, telephone number, or ORCID ID, as well as to self-identify your gender identity, race and ethnicity for inclusion purposes. If you are a reviewer, Editorial Manager may process additional information, such as your subject area expertise, publication history, and review history, including your previous review comments, to help optimally match submitted manuscripts with relevant reviewers. Your review history may be shared across Elsevier journals to help editors when selecting you as a potential reviewer for other journals. When a submission that you reviewed is transferred from one Elsevier journal to another Elsevier journal via the [Elsevier Article Transfer Service](https://elsevier.com/researcher/author/submit-your-paper/submit-and-revise/article-transfer-service), the transferring journal may also transfer your account details and associated review comments. To optimize performance and secure the integrity of the peer review process, Elsevier also monitors geography-based traffic and usage data. To deliver Editorial Manager services, your data may be processed by affiliates and service providers that perform services such as website hosting and IT support. You can always manage your marketing communication preferences in your Editorial Manager account or by visiting the [Elsevier Preference Center](https://preferences.elsevier.com/) at any time.
