How to I log a journal peer reviewer's reply to an invitation?

When a peer-reviewer is invited to a review task, ideally they log their decision to accept or decline the invitation directly within the journal system, which they can access via a link in the invitation email. However, if a reviewer replies to the editor directly to provide their invitation response, the editor is able to log it on their behalf. To do this, the editor must:

  1. Access the Review page for the submission and locate the Reviewers section
  2. Click the arrow next to the relevant reviewer’s name to open up a sub-menu
  3. Click the Log Response option. This will open a popup window
  4. Select Reviewer has accepted the invitation to review OR Reviewer has declined the invitation to review
  5. Click the Confirm button
