At Taylor & Francis, we work hard to develop our electronic peer review systems. We want to improve and enhance the quality of peer review. And we want to make it easier for you to find new reviewers.
To do this, we’ve made submission and peer review management quick and easy for:
- Journal editors
- Authors
- Reviewers
We want to show you how to get the most out of the features in your electronic peer review system.
Find new reviewers for your journal
We’re aware that it’s not easy to find new reviewers, suitable for your journal. It can be a hard and time-consuming task for journal editors.
To make it simpler for our editors, we’ve put a reviewer locator tool on ScholarOne. Here’s how it works:
- The system draws information from databases of researchers
- The reviewer locator tool helps to match submissions to suitable reviewers
- It becomes easier to find reviewers for manuscripts
How to use Reviewer Locator on ScholarOne
Here’s how the system works on ScholarOne Manuscripts:
- When an author submits a paper, the Reviewer Locator searches for reviewers based on the manuscript’s keywords and abstract.
- The system then feeds those keywords and abstract into the Web of Science.
- An algorithm then finds possible reviewers based on that person’s previous publications in the same field.
It’s a great way to broaden the search for reviewers for your journal. It also ensures a wide range of experts in the field can assess the research submitted to your journal.
The search results should be available by the time assigned as editor. All you have to do is go to the Select Reviewers page.
Here you’ll find reviewer details, including the article(s) that flagged him or her as a suitable reviewer for this manuscript. Click View details under each article to discover more.
