Approach to a New Invitation

An Associate editor or a reviewer can accept/decline any new invitation. To do:

1. Log into the journal using the "AE or Reviewer" role.
2. Navigate to the "New Invitation" section. Here, you have two options:
   1. Selecting "Accept" will assign the manuscript to your tasks.
   2. Choosing "Decline" will return the manuscript to the role that invited you. If you opt to decline, please provide your reason(s).

• Reviewers/AEs have the option to "Decline" any invitation. If they choose to do so, we request that they provide a reason for rejection.
• A list of declined documents can be found in the Reviewers' section.
