Usage

For the plugin to work, the journal must have an active subscription to the Web of Science Reviewer Locator. Please see information about purchasing this service here, or email us with your questions.

When the plugin is enabled, a new section "Web of Science Reviewer Locator" is added to the Review tab of the submission evaluation process. Use the "search" button to search Web of Science database for the suitable reviewers for a given article. Once the search returns recommended reviewers, the results are then saved against the submission and will be loaded from the system with subsequent navigation to the Review tab of that submission. The search results that are older than 60 days are deemed out of date and will be removed, so a new search can be made.
