Reviewer invitation strategy

• Read more ....

  Automatic cancellation: The editorial office has configured the settings so that follow up invitations are sent to reviewers who do not respond to the first invitation at 3, 7 and 11 days after first invite. If the automatic cancellation feature is on, the reviewer will receive a cancellation email the day after the last invitation.

  Cancelled reviewers can always be re-invited by resetting their review by clicking the feature to the left of the reviewer's name.

  Automatic invitation: If a potential reviewer declines to review or a review is cancelled, an automatic invitation is sent to the next reviewer on the reviewer selection list. If this feature is on, the editor should ensure that the order of the reviewers in the list reflect the preferred contact order. The program will then continue to auto-invite reviewers until the number of required reviewers indicated in the yellow box has been reached. If there are no more reviewers left in the list, an automatic alert is sent to the editor prompting to select more reviewers.
