    Recommended browsers: Firefox, Google Chrome. If using Internet Explorer, turn off compatibility
    mode to ensure Open SI displays properly.

    Getting Started: Enrollment in Open SI


    When you agree to conduct a review, you will be enrolled in Open SI as a peer reviewer and assigned to
    the submission. Watch out for two emails from SISP via Open SI: one notifying you of your username
    and password and another providing a link to the specific project you agreed to review.

    Conducting the Peer Review


    1. Click the link in the email that assigns the specific project to you.
    2. When prompted, log in with your username and password. If this is your first time logging in,
    you will be asked to change your password.
    3. Open SI will open to your Dashboard; click You have a review pending in your notifications
    list to load the review page.
    4. Review page, TAB 1 = Request
    o Scroll to see the project title and abstract and the Review Schedule (i.e., important dates).
    o Click the appropriate button under Competing Interests; if appropriate, offer
    explanation.
    o Click Save and continue.
    5. TAB 2 = Guidelines
    o Read the Reviewer Guidelines.
    o Click Continue to Step #3.
    6. TAB 3 = Download & Review
    o In the section called Review Files you will find the files you should download to
    complete the peer review. They include a peer review checklist and stipend paperwork to
    complete, if applicable.
    o Click each file to download and save to your computer.
    o Log out and conduct your review; you may track changes in the MS Word doc
    manuscript or print and mark pages and scan into a PDF for upload later.
    o Complete the peer review checklist for general ratings, summary of all comments, and
    your recommendation.

    tracked manuscript and/or a PDF of marked pages. If you have additional comments, you can
    key them directly into the large Review text box just above the Reviewer Files section.
    10. When you have uploaded all your review files, click Submit Review.
    11. You will be asked to confirm that you wish to submit your review. After you submit your
    review, you will be unable to access the review or the project again. If you are sure youre ready
