Assign Reviewers

For your Submissions, you can assign an individual reviewer or a reviewer group (opens in a new tab) to assist with the review and evaluation process. You can add them either at the moment of creating the Call or once created. 

When creating the Call > Step 2 (Configuration) you can specify for the allocation to be “Manual” or "Automatic" under the Review Settings section:

If Automatic is selected, you will be asked to assign the reviewer/ reviewer group that will be automatically used for the upcoming submissions: 

When selecting Manual, once the Call is created, you can have the following options to assign reviewers: 

This tool provides an opportunity to invite external individuals to join our platform as volunteer reviewers for your submissions. It's a strategic approach when your existing pool of reviewers is limited or non-existent, opening the door to a broader range of perspectives. Moreover, these volunteer reviewers have the flexibility to specify their availability as per their convenience.

To invite, from the Reviewers tab > click the Add Reviewer bottom: 

In the pop-up window, search or add if not listed internally the desired reviewer. A notification will be sent to the reviewer’s email address for this person to accept our decline to the invitation to be available as s reviewer. 

Directly from the Submission: view/open the submission, under the Reviews section click the Add reviewers bottom.

Search by name or email address of the individual reviewer or reviewer group, then click **Assign Reviewers.**Note: you can add multiple reviewers/reviewer's groups at a time, and decide to send a notification about the assignment. 

From the Submissions list, you can select as many submissions as you want, click Bulk action on the left top corner, and select from the drop-down menu Assign Reviewers

From here, you can select the following: 

• Select Reviewers: you can add individual reviewers or choose/create a reviewers group

• Assignment rules: select how the assignment will take place if a submission is reviewed by one reviewer, reviewer by every reviewer, or a custom assignment. You can also decide to Send email notifications to all assigned reviewers and Ignore existing reviewer-assignments
