L. The Review tab: Checking review reports

1. Here we can see that Reviewer A completed their report. You can see the reviewer's comments (as entered into the review form) by clicking the speech bubble icon.
2. If the reviewer uploaded a file as part of their review, you can download it by clicking on the file name.
3. If you'd like the author to be able to see the file the reviewer provided, check the Let author view file option.
4. You can give a subjective performance rating to this reviewer, which may help you guage whether to utilize them again in the future. Reviewers cannot see this score.
5. Use the Acknowledge icon to send an acknowledgement email to the reviewer.
6. Reviewer B has not yet completed their report. You can view the due date for this reviewer and send them a reminder email. (Note: the system will automatically send reminders to the reviewer based on intervals configured by the Journal Manager in setup step 2.2.)
7. You can respond to the review request on behalf of the reviewer, or complete the review form for them. This is useful when a reviewer is not willing to use the system or provides you with a report via email or in physical format.
8. If you know this reviewer will not respond, or they've asked to stop receiving reminders, use the Cancel Request link.
9. Some reviewers that you previously assigned to this article may no longer appear on the Review tab. In such cases, the reviewer likely declined the review request. Click the View Regrets, Cancels, Previous Rounds link to see their reply.
