Search by Personal Classification Mode

When ‘Search by Personal Classifications’ is selected, the Editor can search for Reviewers based on the Personal Classifications associated with each Reviewer.  The Editor is delivered to a page that lists all of the Classifications that are assigned to people in the system with a checkbox next to each term.  The Editor can select a maximum of 5 Classification Terms.  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).

 

Note:  The Manuscript Classifications are listed at the top of the page for reference purposes

 

Note:  The list of Classifications may appear incomplete because it is a list of all Classifications assigned to people; it is not a complete list of Classifications.  If a Classification term does not appear on the list, then that means no one in the system has selected that term as a Personal Classification

 

Note:  Unlike the Search by Classification Matches, which identifies matches between the Reviewer’s Personal Classifications and the submission’s Manuscript Classifications, this mode allows the user to search for Reviewers by Classification, independent of the Manuscript Classifications

 

Note:  A Reviewer’s Personal Classifications that match the Classifications selected by the Editor will display in the retrieved record, as will any Classifications that match the Manuscript Classifications

 

Note:  The Classification display preferences in My Reviewer Display Preferences DO NOT affect the Classification display in this Reviewer selection mode.  The sort preferences on the My Reviewer Display Preferences DOES affect the sort order
