Reviewer import

Reviewer import page

The reviewer import tool allows you to create reviewer accounts by uploading a CSV file.

Warning

This importer is site-specific. You must access the import tool from the press or journal you want it import the reviewers into.

To import reviewer accounts:

  1. Download the reviewer import template.
  2. Enter your reviewer details, one per row.
  3. If you wish to add more than one interest, you must separate them with a semicolon, as in “interest one; interest two; interest three”.
  4. On the Imports plugin main page select Reviewer Import and click Start Import.
  5. Select your CSV and, if you want you reviewers to receive a password reset notification, check that option.
  6. Click Import to complete the process.

Warning

It is important that you let reviewers know before you user the password reset function as it can result in reviewers suspecting the message is spam.

Tip
