Can I send reviewer reminder emails?

Overview

By default, Scholastica will automatically send emails to reviewers according to the following rules:

• Until the invitation is accepted or declined, Scholastica re-sends the initial invitation email weekly, bi-weekly, or not at all depending on how you've set up your configuration options.
• If the invitation is accepted, Scholastica sends weekly emails reminding the reviewer to submit the review.
• On the day the review is due, Scholastica sends a single reminder email.
• After the deadline has past, Scholastica sends weekly emails notifying the reviewer that their assignment is past due.
• Editors can manually send a reminder email at any time. The weekly reminder emails are reset by this, meaning the next one won't be sent until 7 days have passed since the manual reminder was sent.

The journal account admin can disable reminder emails by visiting My Journals > Settings > Journal Settings > Configuration Options > Email Options.
