How to use the Reviewer.ly OJS plugin

The Reviewer.ly Open Journal System (OJS) plugin streamlines the process of identifying and selecting relevant reviewers for an article, integrating smoothly into your submission workflow. First, you’ll need to install the plugin. Here’s how to use it:

1. Open the “Add Reviewer” dialog

Navigate to the submission workflow and find the “Review” tab. If the submission is ready for review, click on the “Add Reviewer” button to open the dialog.

2. Access reviewer profiles from Reviewer.ly

In the “Add Reviewer” dialog, find and click on the “Reviewers from Reviewer.ly” button in the bottom right-hand corner.

This action will display a list of reviewers that are relevant to the article from our database.

For more details about a potential reviewer, click the down arrow next to their name.

3. Select a reviewer

You’ll see a “Select Reviewer” button on the right of each reviewer’s name. Click this to select them for your submission. If you select a reviewer, the “Add Reviewer” form will pre-populate with information we have on file for that reviewer. Fill in any other required fields and click on the “Add Reviewer” button at the bottom of the form to select the reviewer for your submission.
