NEW REVIEWER INVITATIONS

Back
If you are chosen as a Reviewer for a manuscript, you will receive an e-mail from the Journal requesting your assistance. The email will include the abstract of the submission and your invitation will also be listed in your ‘Main Menu’ in the folder ‘New Reviewer Invitations’.

Responding to a new reviewer invitation

Before you can review the submission, you must respond to the invitation to notify the journal office that you received the invitation and that you are willing to review the manuscript. If you are unable to review the submission for any reason, you will need to decline the invitation so the journal office will know that another reviewer will need to be invited. There are two ways for responding to invitations:

Directly from the email of invitation,
through the deep links supplied. The deep links will take you directly to your ‘Pending assignments’ folder in your ‘Reviewer Main Menu’ at the same time notifying the Journal office of your reply.

Logging in to Editorial Manager,
going to your ‘New Reviewer Invitations’ folder.

For each submission in this folder this screen will open and you will have access to the links described.

This allows you to access the abstract again.

The submission will move out of your ‘New Reviewer Invitations’ folder and into your ‘Pending Assignments’.

Decline to Review

This will alert the Editor Office that you will not be reviewing the paper.

You will also be given confirmation that you have declined to review

Send email

This allows you to send an email to the Journal Office.
