How do I invite an Unregistered Reviewer in Editorial Manager?

2. Paste or type the details of the Reviewers you need to have registered in the email Letter Body as shown in the screenshot. See screenshot.

   • Include the Title, First and Last Name, Email Address, and Country for each reviewer.
   • Indicate if you want the journal office to take additional action on your behalf, such as invite the reviewer(s), or set each one as alternate.
3. When ready, select 'Send'.
