Search by Personal Classifications

Editors can search for Authors or Reviewers in the publication database based on personal classifications associated with user records.

Invited Author search

The personal classifications search tool displays the list of classification terms (configured by the publication) currently assigned to Authors in the publication's database.

1. On the Reviewer Selection Summary page, select Search by Personal Classifications as the search type.
2. On the search page, use the drop-down menu to select the pool of users to search (entire database, all Reviewer roles, or a specific Reviewer role).
3. In the search tool, identify up to 5 classification terms to use in the Author search. To find you may need to:
   1. Click the Expand All link to open all levels of terms in the list.
   2. Enter a term in the text box and click Search to highlight matching terms (displayed in red text).
4. Check the box next to terms to select.
5. Click Add to move them to the Selected Classifications list.
6. Click Search for Authors.

Search results appear below the tool in the Author Candidates grid. To search again, click the Edit Search by Personal Classifications button.

Note: Classifications list may appear incomplete because it includes only classifications assigned to people; it may not be the complete list of publication's configured classification terms. If a term does not appear in the list, it means no one in the system has selected that term as a personal classification.

Reviewer search

The personal classifications search tool displays the list of classification terms (configured by the publication) currently assigned to Reviewers in the publication's database.

1. On the Reviewer Selection Summary page, select Search by Personal Classifications from the drop-down menu.
2. Click Go to open the classifications search tool.
3. In the search tool, identify up to 5 classification terms to use in the Reviewer search. To find you may need to:
   1. Click the Expand All link to open all levels of terms in the list.
   2. Enter a term in the text box and click Search to highlight matching terms (displayed in red text).
4. Check the box next to terms to select.
5. Click Add to move them to the Selected Classifications list.
6. Click Search for Reviewers.

Search results appear below the tool in the Reviewer Candidates grid. Results display Reviewer personal classifications that match those selected by the Editor and that match the submission's classifications.

Note: Classifications list may appear incomplete because it includes only classifications assigned to people; it may not be the complete list of publication's configured classification terms. If a term does not appear in the list, it means no one in the system has selected that term as a personal classification.
