Navigating the System
When you first log into the system, you will be taken to your "Home" page. Firstly, we would ask if you could update your profile with your current contact details and any other relevant information. This will greatly assist us when thanking Reviewer for their work at the end of the year.
To do this you will need to select Modify Profile/Password. At the top of your profile you will see your username. Log out of the system and the select Unknown/Forgotten password? Input your user name and the system will email you a new password. When you receive the password, you will be able to access your home page and update your profile.
Your home page will have different categories of tasks. If you are required to perform a pending action item, there will be a red arrow
- Detailed Information about a specific manuscript.
- Links to the manuscript and associated figures/images.
- A list of "Manuscript Tasks" or links allowing you to:
- Accept/Decline Reviewer Position.
- Check Status
- Review Manuscript
(Not all links will be present all the time. Only the applicable links will be visible.)
If there are no red arrows
Review Manuscript
After logging into the system, pressing on a manuscript link preceded by a red arrow, you will be presented with a "Manuscript" screen as described above. At the bottom of this screen under "Manuscript Tasks" will be displayed a "Review Manuscript" link. Clicking on this link will display the "Review Manuscript" Screen. This screen is broken into 5 parts as follows:
1. Manuscript background information.
2. A review pop-down selection.
3. A dataset recommendation drop-down.
4. Remarks to the author.
5. Remarks to the editor.
If you prefer to work offline, you may find it quickest to download and print the PDF file, draft your review remarks using your favorite word processor and cut/paste it back into the reviewer remarks text area on this screen.
