Completed peer reviews can be shared with authors and between reviewers, both within the same review round and between different review rounds.

Janeway has various controls for how review data is shared with authors. All of these are off by default. These settings are found on the Review settings page under the Author review display header. These settings are:

• Hide review data from authors before release
  When this setting is enabled, authors will see no information about active peer reviews until the editor makes them available. Otherwise, they can see whether there are reviews in progress and their due dates.

• Enable peer review data on the author page
  When this setting is enabled, the dates for when this review was requested, when it was due and when it was completed will be displayed on the review page along with the content of the peer review. As with the review contents, this information will only appear once the review has been completed and the editor makes it available.

• Enable peer review data on review pages
  When this setting is enabled, authors will have access to more information on the review page than just the content of the peer reviews, including the date the review was requested, the date it was due and date it was completed. The data will be displayed on the review page, which is only available after review and once the editor makes it available.

Editors have two options to share reviews with other peer reviewers. On the Review settings page, under the Sharing peer reviews header, there are four settings which control how editors can share peer reviews.

• Enable share reviews decision
  This setting needs to be turned on to enable the sharing of reviews between reviewers. It adds the option to share reviews to the decision helper.

• Display completed reviews in the review interface
  This setting enables the sharing of reviews between rounds, giving reviewers access to completed reviews from previous rounds.

• Display completed reviews in the review interface text
  This text is displayed to reviewers when Display completed reviews in the review interface is enabled. It can be used to explain to reviewers why they have access to the reviews and what they have access to.

• Automatically share author response letters
  When this setting is enabled, author response letters (provided when doing revisions) will also be made available to reviewers as a part of sharing peer reviews.

By enabling review sharing in the decision list, editors can send an email to everyone who has completed a review for a given article, including a link to view all completed reviews for that article. Reviews that are incomplete or have no decision are excluded from being shared.

Access is limited to the reviewers through their Janeway accounts, so the link and its contents cannot be shared beyond the reviewers who have been assigned to this article.
