The system uses the target date to specify when to send out reminders. Sometimes an author or reviewer asks for an extension, and you or the Editor approves it. When that happens, you need to remember to tell the system the new date, or it will continue to send out overdue reminders based on the old date. Change the target date for editors and reviewers from the Editorial Review tab. Note that while ISI journals do grant more than one extension for authors to submit their revisions, ensure that the request is legitimate and reasonable.

Change the author revision due date from the Decision tab by clicking on the pencil icon  Remember to click Save after making the change! The system will then send out reminders close to the new target date.
