Assessing and accepting reviewers for review
When reviewers accept to review a work that has been submitted by a user, the user will be notified via email and Whatsapp. The user will receive a link to view the profile and qualification of the reviewer, and to approve them for the review.
Users are given the opportunity to choose who reviews the work; however this opportunity should be used carefully and objectively, as available reviewers may be difficult to come across.
User should not decline a reviewer on the following grounds:
- Gender, race, ethnicity or citizenry of the reviewer
- The geographical location of the reviewer, except if the work can only be effective evaluated by reviewers in a particular location.
- Cultural, religious or political standpoint of the reviewer, except if any forms a tangible cause of conflict of interest.
The best grounds for declining a reviewer’s request:
- If the user is sure the reviewer does not have sufficient experience or expertise to review the work
- If the user is feels the reviewer may have a potential conflict of interest that may affect the end result of the evaluation.
- Some evaluations may be reserved solely for reviewers from a particular country, region, language, university etc. However, these criteria should be stated on the web page beneath the abstract of the work.
However, if there are other sufficient grounds, the user can indicate it as the reason for declining. Users should provide sufficient criteria for reviewers in the related field when using the submission form.
Granting full access to a work
It is recommended to grant IREVIEW.ONLINE full access to the work on submission, by attaching it or providing a link to it. However, users may withhold access until they have received the details of the reviewers for the work and made their choice on who would review the work.
It is important for users to indicate the evaluation duration or deadline on the submission form when submitting their work to IREVIEW.ONLINE. This represents the time frame the user can have the work opened to receiving evaluations. It is wise to submit the work early and allow a convenient period of time to enable reviewers know about the work and send in their evaluations, especially if the user seeks voluntary evaluations from reviewer. However, no matter how urgent a user may need to the evaluations, submitting and indicating the remaining time left is still recommended.
After reviewers conclude their evaluations, they send it via an online form. The user will immediately get a copy of the evaluation.
Rating a reviewer after review
It is necessary for users to rate reviewers after receiving their evaluations. Users will be guided on how to go about this after they receive the evaluation.
IREVIEW.ONLINE do not pay reviewers before or after undertaking the review of a work. The fee we receive to conduct review for each submission is to offer the organization needed by the user to get reviewers and receive evaluations from them successful. We recommend that reviewers provide their evaluations voluntarily. This is achieved in many cases depending on the type of work submitted, especially if adequate evaluation duration is given by the user.
However, it is only factual to indicate that not all capable reviewers will be available to review a work free of charge. Depending on the type and size of work to be reviewed, some reviewers may require payment.
It is the goal of IREVIEW.ONLINE to provide an evaluation system that truly works or all submissions. Therefore, an opportunity is available for users to submit an amount they may be willing to pay one or more reviewers (this amount will be visible on the abstract page only to registered reviewers). An opportunity is also available for reviewers to make their offers to the users through an online form. Users will receive alerts of such offers and may reply to it is they are interested. IREVIEW.ONLINE may stand as an intermediary and gateway for evaluations and payments to get across successfully.
Some forms are available to aid users in the different stages of the evaluation process. Some of these forms are:
Reviewers suggestion form: Users can use this form to suggest reviewers, if they did not do so during submission. Users may also use it to suggest additional reviewers if the need arises.
Revision submission form:
Users should use evaluations received to revise they works accordingly. It is better to do so and resubmit a revised work in order to summarize the review process of a work.
Submitting a revision is optional. Simply use the revision submission form to do so.
Users will receive notifications from the start of the submission process to the end of the evaluation process. Notifications will be sent to the user’s email. Users must ensure that they respond swiftly to any demand indicated through notifications. Hopefully all notifications will land in the inboxes of users; however, users should also check their spam boxes.
When users successfully go through the evaluation process on our website, they will receive a certificate of completion and a link to web page of PDF that contains details of the entire review process including the reviewer’s evaluations. If the review process ends after the user receives the evaluations, a certificate and link may also be sent to the user after he or she put in a request.
