Guidelines for Reviewers

This dashboard gives you an overview of the number of cases that you are invited to handle as a reviewer, and of their status in the peer-review process:

‘New Reviewer Invitations’ lists cases you are invited for. You will also receive an e-mail notification for all new invitations.

  • Action required: Accept or decline the invitation within one week.

‘Pending Assignments’ lists cases you have accepted for review and are awaiting completion of your review.

  • Action required: Complete the review within 3 weeks for new submissions, and within 2 weeks for a revision.

‘Completed Assignments’ lists cases for which you have completed the review.

  • No further action required from you.

When accessing your lists with pending or completed assignments, cases are displayed in the following overview, which will give you a summary of details, as well as available options to take an ‘Action’.

The folder ‘New Reviewer Invitations’ displays cases you are invited for, and you are asked to accept or decline them for review.

To accept a case for review, please click ‘Agree to Review’
To decline a case for review, please click ‘Decline to Review’
