Screens and settings
Review Invitation Screen
The header and cards of the screen where an invitation and its review open, and its views for pending, accepted and closed invitations.
This screen opens when you open an invitation from the link in the e-mail or from the Reviewing screen. The screen shows one of three views, depending on the status of the invitation.
Header
The header is the title of the work. While the invitation awaits your response, Review invitation appears above the title. After you accept, this text becomes Reviewing. Under the title you see the publication type, the status, the submission number, the journal and the round. If the deadline has passed, the Overdue label appears.
The note under the title states the anonymity rule that applies. The rules are in Peer Review Types.
