What information does a peer review item contain?

By

  • Role:* The individual’s role in the review process, which can be selected from: chair, editor, member, organizer, reviewer
  • Group identifier:* The group ID that is used for aggregation purposes -- for journal articles, the default identifier is the eISSN, which is automatically populated via an integration with the ISSN database. Please note, if you need to assign an identifier other than an ISSN you will need to create it before.
