• Assigning editors

Manuscripts are initially assigned to editors either manually or automatically. This is defined when the journal is set up in Snapp, and can be changed afterwards in consultation with your Publisher. Assigned editors receive an email to let them know that they have submissions, so that they can perform the suitability assessment.

Manual assignment

If your journal is set up with manual assignment, the lead editors (usually editors-in-chief) are notified of all new submissions to the journal. They can then assign each one to an appropriate handling editor. They can also assign to themselves.

Information is available to help with the selection of an editor, including:

• The topic area and keywords assigned to each editor (if provided)
• The number of submissions currently assigned to each editor
• The role assigned to each editor
• Information that the editor is currently unavailable (if provided)

Round-robin assignment 

This means that manuscripts are automatically assigned equally to lead editors (usually editors-in-chief). If the journal has a single lead editor, all manuscripts will be automatically assigned to them, so that they can perform the suitability assessment. After this check, lead editors can reassign submissions to an appropriate handling editor.

Assignment by topic

Editors are each assigned a distinct topic, and authors choose from these topics on submission of their manuscript. Each editor can be assigned a single topic only, however more than one editor can have the same topic. Assignment to an editor is done based on matching these topics, either manually by the lead editor, or by the journal’s editorial assistant.

Assignment in collections and special issues

For submissions that are associated with a collection or special issue, assignment is always manual and can be done by either the lead editor or assigning editor for the collection, or the lead editor of the journal. They can see a list of guest editors working on the collection or special issue, if applicable, and a separate list of the journal’s editors.

Information is available to help with the selection of a guest editor, including:

Editorial process after submission

This article shows the editorial process after Submitting a manuscript to a journal .

Stage 1: Initial quality check

This stage includes checks on authorship, competing interests, ethics approval and plagiarism. 

We oversee this process to ensure that your manuscript contains everything our editors and peer reviewers need to perform a fair and thorough assessment of your work.

Stage 2: Editor assigned

Once your manuscript passes the initial quality check, we assign it to a member of Editorial Board, who is an active researcher in your field.

If the editor is satisfied with your work, they will choose appropriate peer reviewers to evaluate your work, taking into account several factors including expertise, experience and apparent conflicts of interest.

Stage 3: Peer review

Reviewers will assess the technical soundness and scientific validity of your methods, analysis and interpretation, all of which must be appropriate, properly conducted, ethically robust and fully supported by the data. 

For additional information, please check our peer review policies for Springer , BMC  and Nature portfolio or visit the respective journal website. 

Stage 4: Decision

The editor will then decide whether to accept your work as is, request minor or major revisions, or reject the paper due to unresolvable concerns. In case of a rejection, an article transfer will be considered. 

For all subsequent steps, please check Next steps for publishing your article: What to expect after acceptance .

A reliable proofreading tool and essay editor for any writer or student, a complete environment.

Typely is more than just a proofreading tool. It's a complete writing environment.

Thousands of checks

More than a thousand checks are being performed and we've only scratched the surface.

Inspired by the greatest writers

Gain access to humanity’s collective understanding about the craft of writing.

A proofreading tool that does not bark at every tree

Typely is precise. Existing tools for proofreading raise so many false alarms that their advice cannot be trusted. Instead, the writer must carefully consider whether to accept or reject each change.

We aim for a tool so precise that it becomes possible to unquestioningly adopt its recommendations and still come out ahead — with stronger, tighter prose. Better to be quiet and authoritative than loud and unreliable.

Relax, focus, write your next masterpiece...

Writing presumes more than simply laying out words on a paper. Typely helps you get in the mood and keeps you focused, immersed and ready to write your story.

Whether you need a distraction-free environment, some chill relaxing sounds or a pomodoro timer to manage your time we got you covered.

Got questions? We have answers.

No. Typely is completely free and we plan on keeping it that way. We are considering some advanced features however that might be available under a premium plan.

The only limit we have applied thus far is on the number of characters you can submit and that is being set at a maximum of 50,000.

In theory yes but that will require a lot of work and professionals dedicated for this job. We are considering a way of letting the community participate somehow.

Typely does not do grammar checking because it's hard and almost impossible to get right. The aim for Typely is to be precise and reliable.

How do I handle new Direct to Editor assignments in Editorial Manager?

Editorial Manager (EM) allows for Direct to Editor Assignment (also referred to as D2E), meaning new submissions are directed to a Receiving Editor via some automated rule, or revisions are directed to the First Editor of the previous version. Submissions appear in this folder as soon as the Author approves the submission, without any manual checks or screening.

As the directly assigned Receiving Editor, you must now decide whether the submission is ready to begin the editorial process or whether some other action is needed.

The Direct to Editor settings for new and revised submissions are independently configured; journals can have one or the other, both, or neither.

• From your main menu, click 'Direct-to-Editor New Submissions' or 'Direct-to-Editor Revised Submissions' .
• Duplicate Submission Check
• Similarity Check/IThenticate Results
• Assign to Myself: Assign to yourself as first editor (watch this short video for more details). See next step.
• Send Back to Author: returns the submission to the author. When the author resubmits, it will return to this folder. See How do I send a submission back to the author in Editorial Manager? .
• Edit Submission: to make changes to the submission files and/or metadata
• Redirect to Other Editor: to select an alternate Receiving Editor; submission will move to that person's Direct to Editor folder. Note only those editor roles configured as Direct to Editor participants will appear.
• Submit Early Decision: (new submissions only) to submit an immediate decision . This combines the step of assigning to yourself and making the decision and is only available for certain decision terms as configured for the journal.
• Set Final Disposition: to Withdraw the submission . Withdrawn submissions can be searched and the status can be undone via Rebuttal.
• Remove Submission: (new submissions only) to remove the submission from EM entirely and permanently. Removed submissions cannot be recovered, and will not be searchable from the front end of EM.
• The status changes to 'With Editor'.
• The submission moves to your 'New Assignments' folder.
• For those journals that delay assignment of manuscript numbers, the editor assignment action will trigger the manuscript number to be assigned. Note that most journals do assign number automatically as soon as the author approves the manuscript for submission.
• Assign a second editor.
• Invite Reviewers .

There are three possible rules for automated assignment to a receiving editor. The rule applies to the entire journal.

Some of the journal's editors are configured as participants. Each time a new submission arrives, the system checks the "last assignment date" of participating editors. The submission is directed to the editor with the oldest date.

• In some cases, this "list" can be just one editor, meaning all submissions go to that person. In such a journal Redirect would not work, because no one else is eligible.
• To temporarily leave an editor out of rotation, the configuration would update to remove that editor, and then updated again to re-add them when needed.

During submission, authors are asked to select an editor from a drop-down list. Submissions are directed according to this selection.

• The list of editors is defined by editor role, the journal can configure which roles are included.
• The list can be configured to display any combination of Name, Role and Description.
• This can happen when the step of Request Editor is either hidden or optional for an article type.

During submission, authors are asked to select a Section/Category from a drop-down list defined by the journal. Each Section/Category is linked to one editor, and submissions are directed according to this selection.

• Each Section/Category can be linked to only one editor and could be left unlinked to opt that Section/Category out of Direct Editor Assignment.
• Each editor could potentially be linked to any number of sections.
• The author did not select a Section/Category because the step is either hidden or optional for an article type.
• The author did select a Section/Category, but the one selected has not been linked to any editor.

When this option is enabled for a journal, every revisions is directed to the first assigned editor of the previous version.

In the case where the previous first editor no longer has an editor role, their revisions will remain in the "Revised Submissions Requiring Assignement Folder.

投稿状态 Editor Assigned 表示什么？

我在 7 月 21 日投稿到 Springer 期刊，现在的状态是 Editor Assigned，这是什么意思？接下来还会有哪些状态？请帮忙

你的论文现在正处在期刊工作刚开始的阶段。Editor Assigned 表示你的论文已经指派给负责的副编辑 (AE)，他会进行初步审查，检查论文的整体科研价值还有论文内容是否符合期刊的范畴。这个工作完成的时候，论文会出象两种结果：直接拒绝或是送交同行评审。

接下来的状态有可能是 With Editor，不过不是所有的期刊都会有这个状态，也有可能直接跳到下一个状态。如果接下来状态变成 Under review，就表示你的论文基本通过了初步审查。

但如果状态从 Editor Assigned 或 With Editor 直接变成 Decision in process，就有可能表示你的论文未审被拒。

The Assignment Editor 2.0: More Collaboration, Newer Tools

Back in the late 1990s and early ’00s, when Cater Lee was a reporter for the likes of KNBC and KCAL in Los Angeles, the assignment desk was centrally located in the newsroom. Its editor likely spent extensive time across their day scrolling through police scanners, reading press releases and fielding tipster calls to identify news stories. From it emerged a dictation of Lee’s day.

Purveyors of the newsroom’s assignment desk today, however, are typically less head coach and more quarterback, fronting colorful offenses filled with audibles, option plays and other collaborative trickery that’s designed to always push the ball forward. In other words, story dispersal in a newsroom has increasingly become a team effort, with reporters and producers having more of a say in what makes it to broadcast. Digital technology has also chipped away at the relevance of many dinosaur-era tools assignment editors used to rely on so heavily.

But as the job changes, assignment editors remain a dedicated folk, dug into the frontlines of journalism’s war with mis- and disinformation, while doing their best to help generate broadcasts with wider-reaching community impact. Always, they’re relegated to behind-the-scenes grunt work, and rarely do they get their due.

Julie Wolfe

The capable assignment editor, she observes, will “know all the information”: facts to support a package’s viability, sources that a reporter can contact to round it out, and whether a story is worth any airtime to begin with.

A presence like that in a newsroom matches the significance of an engine in a car, as one assignment editor puts it. Wolfe says assignment editors are like “orchestral conductors,” while additional metaphors that float through interviews stem from human biology. One editor calls the assignment desk the newsroom’s brain; others liken the role’s import to that of the heart or central nervous system, for it’s the assignment editor who pumps data to the farthest reaches of the newsroom, which of course now stretches well beyond the walls of an office building.

Social’s Key Role

Along with an innate sense of what makes for a quality newscast, to effectively manage the assignment desk, editors need top-flight organizational and communication skills, just as they have for decades. These days, familiarity with the social media universe is of equal consequence.

“Twitter’s huge,” he says. “When it comes to breaking news, often we’ll see it on Twitter now before we hear it on police scanners, which is just incredible.”

Darren Whitehead, digital desk lead at another Tegna NBC affiliate, KUSA Denver, says Colorado police scanners are encrypted, but monitoring Twitter helps him pick up the slack.

“Most of the ways that the police departments and fire departments are communicating with us is they’re putting out [updates] on social media, and usually it’s not immediate, it’s well after something has happened,” Whitehead says. “We get calls from people in the community being, like, ‘What the hell is going on down the block from me?’ Then we have to call [the responsible agency], and then they tweet out to everyone — without calling us back — all the information.”

Assignment editors set up Tweet Deck channels, or Social News Desk dashboards, where they follow various government agencies, other news sources like the Associated Press and additional relevant accounts where prospective stories may pop up. Dataminr alerts help inform assignment editors, too; neighborhood-focused Reddit forums and community-based apps like Nextdoor can sometimes supply story ideas as well.

Then, there are community-related Facebook groups, which one assignment editor says she joins using a public profile associated with their news team position. Another longtime story assigner says she taps younger newsroom colleagues to examine Instagram, Snapchat and other social media platforms they might be more comfortable navigating through.

Scrutiny’s Imperative

Like in the past with press releases — though assignment editors still lift stories from those on occasion — they can’t take what’s written online at face value. The same can be said for what citizen tipsters tell the assignment editor over the phone or in emails, as well as what public information officers say.

“People ask me what the hell I do, and I always tell them, ‘Well, the assignment desk is usually ‘first response,’” Whitehead says. “You gotta sift through the bullshit.”

While they may have always prioritized backing up facts, with sources, data and other means, assignment editors in 2022 say there is an added emphasis on getting story facts unquestionably correct.

Jamila Elder

“There are some stations that report solely off of what they hear on the scanners. We are not that station,” says Jamila Elder, assignment editor at WRAL, Capitol Broadcasting’s NBC affiliate in Raleigh, N.C. “You dig deep, you reach out to your contacts and you wait until you get [your information] confirmed, even though your competition station may be reporting it. As an assignment editor that’s very frustrating because we’re very competitive; you want to get the information and you want to get it first, [but] we would rather wait and get it right, than to report it first and get it wrong.”

Experience Matters

In many cases, as one assignment editor puts it, newsies “fall into” their positions at the assignment desk. The experience they bring with them, often as a reporter or anchor, serves them well in the role.

Prior to Ruthanne Gordon becoming senior planning manager for Nexstar’s WXIN (Fox)-WTTV (CBS) Indianapolis, she was an assignment editor for 33 years. Before that, she was a reporter and anchor for more than five years, bringing with her to the assignment desk an assortment of connections from her front-of-the-camera days that she continues to call upon. Her phone book has only ballooned bigger throughout her 45 years in news.

“I have quite a Rolodex,” Gordon says, “I think that’s what they wanted when I came to this position as senior planning manager.” Cops she first met doing stand-ups, she says, “are now the commanders here in town, so I’ve kept those cell numbers, and that’s where I have an advantage.”

Working as a journalist before manning the assignment desk also helps cultivate that vital instinct of what makes for a compelling newscast. However, the assignment desk is also a prime location for industry newbies to break in and learn — a lot — on the fly.

“You gotta pay your dues by working the weekends,” Elder says. “That was where I learned the most because you don’t have a lot of managers, so you have to make those on-the-spot decisions. So, I was able to make those mistakes on that weekend shift, but I was also able to learn from those mistakes and learn how to make good news decisions.”

“This is a great way of starting and learning,” Gordon says of the assignment desk gig. Calling it a way to “fast-track” those new to the industry, she adds: “You can jump off of this and go produce a show [or] jump in a truck and go do an interview.”

Kendra Gilbert, senior assignment editor at KING, had no experience in a TV newsroom before hopping into the assignment desk chair at a station in her home market of Fresno, Calif. Fresh out of college, she struggled to find work in print journalism, her focus of study in school. But that degree still meant she could sniff out a good story and, combining that sense with strong organizational and communication skills, she was confident she could fill the seat just fine.

Kendra Gilbert

She’s held an assignment editor position at one West Coast station or another for nine years running. She says to excel in the role one has to be comfortable working in “a fast-paced environment,” and have the ability to “turn on a dime” and “focus on one thing and switch to another.”

Collaboration Grows

Elder statesman Gordon says of the assignment editor job demands: “It keeps me young.” Both she and the more youthful Gilbert say the position has also become more collaborative in recent years.

“We do sort of have that gatekeeper role,” Gilbert says. Still, she continues, “there’s always this two-way exchange of information between the desk and the reporters.”

Assignment editors consider reporter strengths, areas of interest and experience when deciding in whose hands a story will be entrusted. But they also field pitches from reporters and engage in broad conversations about the day’s items of interest with various members of the team.

“Nobody runs on their own in here; we have a tight-knit group [and] we back each other up,” Gordon says of the group at her Nexstar stations. “If we have spot news … we all jump in, and that’s the key to a really good assignment desk. You give and take, and you have that flexibility that at the end of the day, we’ve covered it, we’ve got it, we’ve got angles that nobody else has thought of.”

Not only does the team effort behind story assignment potentially add layers and depth to an eventual package, but it reinforces the integrity of the news it delivers across an entire broadcast, day in, day out.

In the constant struggle to identify mis- and disinformation, while also presenting stories in appropriate context, “that is where a collective, collaborative culture of a newsroom saves you,” KING’s Wolfe says. “If you are, as a team, having editorial checks, conversations, diverse viewpoints, bringing different people in, then you can catch those things and catch yourself and find the right story.

“That’s why I think having a diverse newsroom is so key, because different people are going to see different things and think about different questions and weigh that story against their own experience …. Whether it’s a big newsroom or a small newsroom, getting people together to talk about stories is just really, really important.” she says.

Decentralized Approach

One would be hard-pressed to find a more profound example of the increasingly collaborative nature the assignment editor’s job has assumed over the past handful of years than the organizational structure at Lee’s Southern California Spectrum News channel.

In an effort to cover the market’s five counties, across a sprawling megalopolis, her channel employs an assignment editor manager and four individual assignment editors, each of whom are primarily stationed in different parts of the region: north, south, east and west. They report to the station’s office in El Segundo once per week on a rotating basis, but otherwise they’re out in the field, working closely with reporters as they scour for stories and continually develop relationships with sources.

Lee says the more decentralized arrangement allows for her newsroom to be less “reactive” — as others have been historically — and more “proactive,” engaging in “enterprise storytelling.”

“Of course, we still react, because there’s breaking news,” Lee says, “but when there is real enterprise storytelling, you’re working in advance, working your sources and your community and really becoming experts on the ground, and it’s been an amazing collaboration.

“That’s what has gotten lost, is the idea that, really, journalists should have their ears on the ground, they should be developing beats and sources, and they should be working with assignment editors — story planners — to figure out the best way to tell those stories together,” she says. “It’s been a really exciting team approach to newsgathering.”

Seeking Deeper Impact

Whether they’ve been part of an experiment in cutting-edge structural invention or traditionally clock into the newsroom and sit at a stationary desk throughout their shift, assignment editors bear the brunt of the responsibility to shuttle broadcasts away from coverage of police blotter-discovered stories, such as shootings, robberies, and fires. Today’s consumers are craving more from their TV news, and stories with farther-reaching impact have to be sought out by those tasked with assigning them to reporters.

“We definitely are trying to be mindful of stories that are affecting more people in our community,” says WRAL’s Elder. “Gone are the days of ‘If it bleeds, it leads.’ That was old school.”

Still, it’s not entirely true that crime and property destruction should completely be dismissed. “When it comes to your family’s safety, the safety of your business, being able to walk down the sidewalk in your city, that is super-relevant to our viewers,” Wolfe says. “The idea that crime is not relevant is the wrong approach. The right approach is: How do we add information and context? How do we stand for truth and hold people accountable? What does the data tell us about that crime? That’s where the impactful stories are.”

Weighing all these factors in choosing stories, maintaining a constantly updated contact database with identifying tags, ensuring that reports are factually concrete and so many other responsibilities, the assignment editor job is certainly not for everybody. But those who do it well can honorably take tremendous pride in their work, which, if nothing else, is undeniably relentless.

“You should never be bored on the assignment desk,” KING’s Gilbert says. “It’s not a place where you can complete one task and then kick back and say, ‘I’ve done it for the day.’ You should always be busy.”

Great write up. I would add one piece of perspective on the ‘parts of the body’ metaphor. In my experience, the Assignment Desk can be the hands reaching out in the dark, or the ears listening for the important ‘sounds’ or the ‘eyes’ looking toward the horizon. All in addition to being part of ‘the brain.’ Ruthanne nailed it. The key is that a video based, broadcast/digital newsroom must have a desk, producers, reporters, and managers that act in a symbiotic relationship. Each must be able to quickly shift based on the news department’s overall vision, and always support each other.

An assignment editor works at the assignment desk, which is the nerve center of any newsroom. This is where newsroom staff members monitor multiple sources for breaking news, including police and fire scanners. When possible news arises, the assignment editor works with reporters, photographers, producers, and other staff members to assign and develop story ideas.

Small companies sometimes have one assignment editor who is responsible for organizing the assignment desk to operate around the clock. In larger newsrooms, there may be a team of assignment editors that take turns staffing the desk.

Assignment Editor Duties & Responsibilities

The job generally requires the ability to perform the following duties:

• Monitor multiple sources for possible news stories
• Develop and propose a daily news coverage plan
• Lead newsroom staff meetings to review possible stories and assignments
• Help choose which journalists, photographers, and other staff members are assigned to cover stories
• Stay on top of all stories to ensure they're developing as planned and determine which ones are not coming together
• Be the main point of communication between reporters, production teams, and executive staff on developing stories

It's up to the assignment editor to assign people to investigate and report on news stories. The assignment editor's day is sometimes spent shifting people and equipment around so that as many stories get covered as possible, with an eye out on how to handle breaking news coverage at any moment.

When working in television, an assignment editor may also work with the tv producer to decide which crews will take live trucks or a helicopter to broadcast live during a newscast. Also, a TV news anchor who is reviewing scripts just before airtime will often turn to the assignment editor to confirm facts.

An assignment editor's salary can vary depending on location, experience, and employer. The U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics offers salary data for the broader editor category, but it doesn't offer separate data on the assignment editor subcategory:

• Median Annual Salary: $59,480 
• Top 10% Annual Salary: $114,460 
• Bottom 10% Annual Salary: $30,830  

Education, Training, & Certification

Most assignment editors have the same types of degrees as other editors and journalists in a newsroom.

• Education: Most employers prefer candidates that have at least a bachelor’s degree in communications, journalism, or English. 
• Experience: This is often key to getting this type of job, because experience is key to building a list of contacts and learning how to operate smoothly. Employers usually prefer candidates with a background in the type of media in which they specialize, whether it's television, digital, or print news.
• Training: Most training happens on the job. Aspiring assignment editors may want to find an internship position at a newsroom assignment desk.

Assignment Editor Skills & Competencies

To be successful in this role, you’ll generally need the following skills and qualities: 

• Editorial judgment: Assignment editors need to be able to quickly decide whether a story is newsworthy. And although they aren't usually writing the stories themselves, they need to know all of the components of a good news story to guide reporters on coverage.
• Interpersonal skills: Successful assignment editors form relationships with many contacts that can help bring a story together. For example, someone in this role at a local TV news station may have all the county sheriffs' home telephone numbers on speed-dial and be on a first-name basis with the current and previous mayors.
• Organizational skills: An assignment editor must be able to organize the logistics and track the details of several stories at a time and keep everything on schedule.
• Communication skills: An assignment editor must skillfully communicate with all of the staff involved in making news stories come together, including reporters, photographers, production teams, and executive staff.

The U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics projects that employment in this field will grow 6 percent through 2026, which is slightly slower than the overall employment growth of 7 percent for all occupations in the country. The BLS it doesn't offer separate data on the assignment editor subcategory.

Most of this job is done in an office working under several tight deadlines at once. Those who thrive on pressure and get an adrenaline rush when something unexpected happens may be best suited for this occupation.

An assignment editor usually arrives in the newsroom earlier than the other managers to get a handle on what's happening that day to brief the newsroom. Most assignment editors work full time, and many work long hours, which include evenings and weekends.

People who are interested in becoming assignment editors may also consider other careers with these median salaries: 

• Writers and authors: $61,820
• Reporters, correspondents, and broadcast news analysts: $40,910
• Desktop publishers: $42,350

Veteran Erie TV journalist Scott Bremner known for writing, charm, memory and his fedora

When Paul Wagner reflects on his longtime colleague and fellow Erie television reporter Scott Bremner, it's not Bremner's writing, charm or beloved fedora that first comes to mind.

It's Bremner's formidable memory.

"We were both covering a trial and I was taking page after page of notes," said Wagner, who worked for WICU-TV in the 1980s and 90s when Bremner reported for WSEE-TV. "Scott would sit there and never take a note. I would later watch his report, thinking he must have missed some testimony. But he had all of it."

Bremner, who worked as a reporter, anchor and assignment editor at Erie TV stations for 40 years, died Monday of natural causes. He was 63.

Born in Ambridge, Bremner attended Grove City College and later earned a bachelor's degree from Edinboro University of Pennsylvania. He started his career as a video photography intern at WJET-TV in the early 1980s.

But Bremner spent most of his career at WSEE, where he was known for his versatility. He could cover breaking news and light features equally well, and he became known for his "Thoughts From Under the Hat" commentaries, which earned three Regional Emmy Awards.

More: Ann Grunewald, Erie's first female candidate for mayor, loved bowling and Roy Rogers

"Scott was one of the best writers for TV in town," said Rich Forsgren, a longtime Erie Times-News photographer and Bremner's closest friend. "He also was witty and charming on camera, and connected well with people. They were always coming up to him on the street."

Besides reporting, Bremner anchored WSEE's 5:30, 6 and 11 p.m. newscasts at various times, and also hosted the station's "Newswatch Insider" community program.

Bremner left WSEE in 2014 and worked for about a year as director of marketing and development at Home Instead Senior Care — Erie. He returned to TV in 2015 as assignment director at WJET/WFXP.

"He would still go out and report when they needed someone," Forsgren said. "Scott loved being on the streets."

Though TV reporting was Bremner's main occupation, he also wrote columns for GoErie.com during the website's early years. He earned a first-place award for his online columns in 2000 from the Society of Newspaper Columnists.

Bremner also hosted a morning talk show on WJET-AM from December 2016 to January 2023.

More: 'Captain' Dan Geary, a fixture in Erie radio for more than 50 years, dies at 72

An avid sports enthusiast, Bremner participated in local golf, bowling, softball and dart leagues over the years.

He is survived by two grown daughters, Helen Bremner of Erie and Caroline Bremner of Allegany, New York.

Calling hours will be held May 19 from 3 to 7 p.m. at Dusckas-Taylor Funeral Home, 5151 Buffalo Road, with a service to follow at 7 p.m.
