Share review results to authors

This article explains how to share review results to authors and decide which fields are visible.

It can be useful to share reviewer feedback to authors. Fortunately, you can do this automatically with Fourwaves.

How to activate the sharing option

  1. In the event dashboard, go to Peer review > Form.

  2. Click on Settings.

  3. Toggle on Share results to authors.

Results sharing settings with Share results to authors turned on, Fields visible to authors and Hide reviewers' names

Select which fields are visible to submitters

From the Fields visible to authors dropdown menu, select which fields of the reviewing form are visible to authors.

For example, you can only share a text box where reviewers provided comments to the submitter, but not all scoring fields.

Who can see review results

All authors listed on a submission can see the review results from their participant dashboard.

Hide reviewer names

Toggle on Hide reviewers' names if you want to hide reviewer names to authors when the review results are shared.

Viewing review results by authors

Submitters will be able to see the comments and scores on their submission as soon as they are entered by the reviewer, as long as the option to share results with authors is toggled on and the field is visible to authors. This visibility occurs regardless of whether the review period is open or not.
