Review and Rating

The Review and Rating section allows the editorial user to rate the reviewer based on their performance during the review process.

The rating can be provided after considering factors such as the quality of the review, relevance of the feedback, completeness of the evaluation, and overall usefulness of the reviewer comments.

To provide or modify the rating, click the Edit icon beside Review and Rating, select the appropriate star rating, and save the changes.

The rating can help the editorial team evaluate reviewer performance and make informed reviewer selections for future manuscripts.
