Assign topic to reviewer

Review process

It is possible to assign one or more topics to reviewers. This allows you to automate the thematic assignment of abstracts to reviewers with just a few clicks.

Navigate to
> Abstracts & Reviews
> Menage reviews
> Reviewers <-> Topics

• The left column contains the names of the reviewers.

• In the right column, next to the reviewer's name, it is possible to assign all topics to that person by ticking the box next to "Select all in row".

• In the right hand columns there is a check box for each topic, which is shown in the heading with the topic number or abbreviation.

Assign Topic <-> Number/Abbreviation:

• Open the topic overview link above the Topics <-> Numbers to display a legend.

• Hover over a number/abbreviation in the column heading to see the topic

Assign topics

1. Select the checkbox in the reviewer's row for the appropriate topic.

2. Check the options:

• "Only allow the allocation of topics to the reviewer"

  No abstracts will be assigned

• "Enable automatic allocation of abstracts and topics to the reviewer"

  This option will assign all abstracts in the topic directly to the reviewers.

3. Confirm the assignment by Save allocation.
