How can I suggest other reviewers when declining an invitation?

2. Open the 'Reviewer Invitation' email and click 'Decline this invitation'. Note the exact wording may differ for each journal.
3. You will be logged in and directed to the Decline to Review page.
4. Type in the text box the reason that you want to suggest other reviewers. Provide the name, location and email address of the suggested reviewers. See screenshot.
5. Click 'Submit' to send your suggestion.

After completing these steps, you'll receive a confirmation email.
