The Dashboard tab has information about the status of submitted articles, the number and status of the journal’s reviewers, and copies of notifications that the system emailed to you. Click on the red numbers to access details of each category of paper. It is important to check your dashboard regularly to keep an eye on papers currently Pending and to act on those Delayed.

The Article Reviews tab gives you direct access to all articles in the review process.



The Reviews tab has both a list of your journal’s reviewers and editors. You can toggle between the two lists.

The Your Articles tab lists your own articles, both pending and completed (see Figure 9).


The Notifications tab has a copy of all “official” emails sent to you from the Executive Director and the Governors. Click on the red Read More tab to read the full message.

The Peer Directory tab searches ISI profiles to find people with similar research interests as yours.

Check this Fast-Track tab when the conference organizers advise that there are articles to fast-track from the current conference to your journal.

The Evaluation Forms tab enables you to manage the questionnaires to be completed by reviewers. Your journal is pre-loaded with evaluation forms selected by you or a former EIC from the Master List. You can create new Evaluation Forms, so you are not limited to those already in your drop-down menu. This page shows both the forms you create and those created by others that you have adopted. You can clone any form and tailor this copy to your own needs.

The Notepad Templates tab holds copies of Best Practices letters. You can add new templates, but be careful to use wording that is consistent with ISI’s philosophy of mentoring authors, reviewers, and editors.

The Journal Setting tab is where you can change the default settings for editor and reviewer due dates and the number of reviewers to be selected (see Figure 23 and the advice on changing settings).

The Conferences tab has links to the upcoming InSITE conference and recent InSITE conferences you have attended.
