Change Reviewer Due Dates

Reviewers sometimes ask for an extension on a review due date, or they may agree to review if given an extra week. The editorial office and/or Editor (with permission) can change an individual Reviewer's due date. They can also change the due date for all Reviewers of a manuscript.

At assignment: The default due date configured by Article Type is shown on the Select Reviewers – Confirm Selection and Customize Letters page. An Editor with permission to override due dates can use the calendar tool to select a different date. The modified date supersedes other due dates.

After assignment: Each Reviewer assigned to a manuscript is listed separately on the submission's Details page. An Editor with permission to override due dates can use the calendar tool to select a different date for one or more Reviewers as needed. The modified date supersedes other due dates.

When a Reviewer's Review Due Date is changed and saved on the Details page, a letter may be sent to notify the Reviewer of the due date change.
