Instructions for editor

Assigning peer-reviewers

Avoid assigning the topic to students currently assigned on other tasks (e.g. writing, revising)
Double-check that the referee is not a co-author!!
On average, twice as many peer-reviewers as there are authors
Furthermore, assign the guest lecturer as author
In total, students should do 2 peer-reviews over the course of the semester, so keep in mind future constraints when assigning students (e.g. students writing a review on the 2nd last topic need to finish their two peer-review assignments by then!)

Once the peer-reviews are in, make a decision and send the decision email to:
- To: all authors (manually add non-corresponding authors to corresponding field)
- Cc: guest and regular lecturers
- Bcc: all peer-reviewers
Include all peer-reviews submitted in plain text at the end of the decision email by clicking on the button “Import Peer Reviews”
Attach all peer-reviews submitted as separate PDF/DOC
If the decision has to be sent before all reports are in, regularly monitor the journal for submission of the late report because the editor is not notified when a report is submitted after decision.
