Read and decide at the simplest, a screened and checked and approved decision at the furthest
Read the reviews. Make the call. Send the email.
Search your own reviewer database, run a similarity check from the manuscript, decide from a template.
A pre-evaluator screens before the office sees it, Prophy widens the reviewer pool beyond your database, similarity and paper mill checks run on the way through, and an approver signs off before the author is told.

Down to the detail
We know the smaller details are often what makes a good product great, so they are written down rather than left for a call.
| Choosing reviewers | |
|---|---|
| Your database | Searchable by keyword, review history and availability |
| Adding someone new | A reviewer can be added without leaving the manuscript |
| Ordering | Candidates ranked by priority, and invited in that order |
| Beyond your list | Prophy returns fifty ranked candidates, expandable if fifty is not enough |
| Reaching a decision | |
| Decision types | Accept, revise and reject, plus your own variants |
| Desk decision | An editor in chief can decide without sending anything out to review |
| Who decides | Recommendation or decision permission, ideally one decider per manuscript |
| Approval step | Decisions divert to an approver for a check before the author is told |
| Decision emails | Sent by the deciding editor, or by the editorial office on their behalf |
| Rescind | A sent decision, or a submitted review, can be withdrawn |
| Working on it | |
| Proxy | An administrator can act for any user, recorded in that user's name |
| Flags | User and manuscript flags, customisable and searchable, locked once in use |
| Notes | Private context that stays with the manuscript |
| Integrity checks | Run from the manuscript at any stage, as many times as needed |
