We know that there are times when you will not be available to accept assignments. To avoid being assigned a paper during these periods, just let the system know.

  1. If you will be unavailable to act as Editor for an extended period, change your availability status on your ISI profile. (‘Sign On’ to your ISI account at http://My.InformingScience.org to change your availability status in your Profile and indicate the period of your unavailability). Letting the system know you are not available ensures that the EiC will not assign a paper to you during that time.
  2. If you need more time to complete your Development Letter, email your Editor-in-Chief as soon as possible. The EiC will change the target date (and tell the system not to email you reminders).
