Reviewer Selection Modes

The Editor starts at the ‘Reviewer Selection Summary’ screen, and chooses the Reviewer selection mode from a set of drop-down boxes.  One drop-down box lists the five primary Reviewer selection modes:

-          Search for Reviewers

-          Search by Classification Matches

-          Search by Personal Classifications

-          Suggest Reviewer

-          Select from Previous Reviewers (available for revisions only)

The second drop-down box lists:

-          The different Reviewer roles (if more than one Reviewer role has been created in Reviewer RoleManager)

-          An option to select from the entire Reviewer database (all roles)

-          An option to search the entire people database (not restricted to just Reviewer roles)

The Editor would first select the selection mode, and then select the Reviewer role, then click 'Go'.  The same functionality exists for selecting both first-choice Reviewers and Alternate Reviewers.
