Anonymous Reviewer numbers

EM allows Reviewers to be continuously referred to as Reviewer 1, Reviewer 2, Reviewer 3 etc., for the life of a manuscript.  Each Reviewer is referred to as their anonymous ‘number’ in Decision letters and in rebuttals to the Editor by the Author.  Therefore, as a submission goes through revisions, Reviewers need to retain their initial Reviewer identifications.

There is no setting for this feature – Reviewers will automatically retain their unique, anonymous Reviewer number.
