Search for Reviewers

The Search for Reviewers option allows Editors to search the publication's database. (The search tool functions the same way as Search People with fewer criteria.) The search tool appears at the top of the Reviewer Selection Summary page when My Publication is selected as the search type.

Select the extent of database search using the Search From drop-down menu. Options include: Entire Database (all users in the publication database), All Reviewers (all users with a Reviewer role), and each specific Reviewer role defined by the publication (e.g., Statistical Reviewer).
Define search parameters:
1. Criterion: Use the drop-down menu to select search criterion (Last Name, First Name, etc.).
2. Is/Is not: Use the drop-down menu to set inclusion or exclusion.
3. Selector: Use the drop-down menu to choose a selector (see the table below for explanations).
4. Value: Enter a value in the text box.
Define additional criteria if necessary.
1. Click Add Search Option + button to display a second line in the grid.
2. Define relationship between two conditions: Use the drop-down menu at the end of the first line to select AND or OR.
3. Use the drop-down menus in the second line as described in step 2. Repeat as needed with additional lines.
Click Search. Search results appear below in the Reviewer Candidates grid.
