Register and Invite New Reviewer

If an Editor cannot find a potential Reviewer in the database, or if the Editor knows that a particular person is not currently registered on the EM site, the Editor can Proxy Register that person.

The Proxy Registration feature is accessed by clicking on the ‘Register and ‘Invite New Reviewer’ link, found on the ‘Reviewer Selection Summary’ page and on the ‘Select Reviewer’ results pages.

The Editor can: register a person, even if he has limited contact information; send a custom letter or no letter to the registrant; assign a Reviewer role; and immediately invite the registrant to review the submission.  This can all be done without leaving the ‘Select Reviewer’ interface.

To Configure:  Go to RoleManager, Editor Role, and then choose the Editor roles that require these permissions.  Click the checkbox next to the ‘Proxy Register New Users’ permission located under the ‘Proxy Power’ permission.
