Search by Classification Matches Mode

When ‘Search by Classification Matches’ is selected the Editor can search for Reviewers based on matches between the Manuscript Classifications and Reviewers’ ‘Personal Classifications’.  The Editor is delivered to a page that lists all Classifications associated with the manuscript and the number of Reviewers associated with each Classification. 

 

The Editor may select one or more Classification.  A list of Reviewers associated with the selected Classifications is returned.  The list can be ordered by number of matching Classifications (see ‘My Reviewer Display Preferences’ section).  The Manuscript Classifications are listed at the top of the page for reference purposes.

 

Note:  The list is organized by Classification Term, with associated Reviewers listed below each term.  A Reviewer may appear multiple times if they have multiple Classification matches.  When the Editor selects a Reviewer’s name by clicking the checkbox, that Reviewer is displayed as ‘selected’ throughout the list, under each Classification Term that they are associated with.  However, they will only receive one invitation

 

Note:  If no classifications have been chosen for the submission, then no Reviewers will be listed.  An Editor can assign classifications to a submission and then use this Reviewer selection feature.  To do this, an Editor must have permission to ‘Classify Documents’ enabled in RoleManager.  The ‘Classify Documents’ link is found in the Action column of the submission record

 

Note:  You can make Classifications mandatory for the Author when the Author is submitting the manuscript
