Reviewer Comments and Completed Reviews

Once a reviewer completes and submits the review, the review status is updated to Review Completed. The editorial user will also receive an email notification informing them that the reviewer has completed the review.

The All Reviews section provides an overview of the reviewers, their recommendations, and their current review status. In the screen shown, three reviewers have completed their reviews.

One reviewer has recommended Accept Submission, while two reviewers have recommended Revision Required.
