Reviewer Main Menu

The Reviewer Main Menu includes three folders: New Reviewer Invitations, Pending Assignments, and Completed Assignments.

Information displayed for submissions in each folder depends on publication configuration. Information may include: Manuscript Number, Article Type, Article Title, as well as important dates for the Reviewer. An Action column contains links to enable the Reviewer to view submission-related information and act on the submission. Action links that are displayed depend on the submission's status in the editorial process and publication configuration.
