Update the article status — update

This is a general function for updating the status field in the DESCRIPTION.

Usage

update_status(
  article,
  status,
  comments = "",
  date = Sys.Date(),
  AE = is_AE(),
  replace = TRUE
)

article: Article id, like "2014-01"
status: new status to add, see details section for more
comments: Any additional comments
date: Date of status update. If omitted defaults to today.
AE: Logical, if TRUE, "AE: " is prefixed to the status
replace: logical, if the last status already matches status then the status is only updated if this flag is set to TRUE.

For AEs, status is prefixed with "AE: " and valid status includes "AE: major revision", "AE: minor revision", "AE: accept", and "AE: reject".

For Editors, use accept(), reject(), and withdraw() to update the status as well as draft an email to the correspondence author.

Check valid status with valid_status.

if (FALSE) { # \dontrun{
update_status("2020-114", status = "AE: major revision")
} # }
