Giving authors access to reviews

[davidp]

Hello,

I'm just using OJS for the first time and I'm sure this is a very basic question. Reviewers have submitted reviews of a paper and also uploaded a version of the submission with comments inserted; I now want to pass these comments and commented document on to the author. How do I do this? When I log in as the author I don't see any way to access the comments; nor do I see a way of doing this as editor...

Thanks for any help you can give,
David Palfreyman

Hi david,

I now want to pass these comments and commented document on to the author. How do I do this?

when a reviewer has done his job and eventually attached a reviwed version file, the editor chooses if the author can/can't view this file.
The option is "Let author view file" and the editor has to flag the box and record the decision.

Andrea

A very belated thank you, Andrea!

I have chosen to make the document (with reviewer's comments inserted) visible to the author. However, the actual review itself (the section completed by the reviewer "For author and editor") doesn't seem to be visible to the author when he logs in.

Any further help would be very welcome.

Hi David,

Those reviews aren't typically available to the Author within the interface -- they have to be imported into the Author Notification email sent by the Editor using the Import Peer Reviews button.

Cheers,
James

Aha! Thanks very much, I've found the button now.

Keep up the excellent work,
