What is CATS?

The Central Article Tracking System (CATS) is Informa's web-based journals system. When papers enter production with any of our journal offices, they are given a record in the system. Corresponding authors are given a username and password, and may access the system to:

• Track the status of their article through production.
• Contact the production editor responsible for the production of their articles.
• Review page proofs of their article and submit corrections online (when prompted by production).
• Download forms, such as Copyright Transfer or IOpenAccess agreements.
• Order reprints or print issue copies of their articles.

Who else uses it?
In addition to authors, CATS is used by:

• Production staff (including the production editors)
• Academic editors
• Vendors working for Informa

How do I get access?
As an author you will be sent access details to CATS via email when an article of yours reaches the production stage.

What if I need help accessing CATS?
