Rather than adding people one by one, the conference site lets reviewers apply themselves through a <strong>Call for Reviewers<\/strong> \u2014 they register, tell you the topics they can cover, and arrive ready for you to approve. This guide explains how to open a call and bring reviewers on board.<\/p>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"how-reviewer-recruitment-works-0\">How reviewer recruitment works<\/h2>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The process has three simple stages:<\/p>\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>You share your <strong>Call for Reviewers<\/strong> \u0441\u0442\u0440\u0430\u043d\u0438\u0446\u0430.<\/li><li>Prospective reviewers complete the <strong>reviewer registration<\/strong> form.<\/li><li>They appear in <strong>Reviewer Management<\/strong> as <strong>Pending<\/strong>, ready for you to accept or decline.<\/li><\/ol>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"sharing-your-call-for-reviewers-1\">Sharing your call for reviewers<\/h2>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Your <strong>Call for Reviewers<\/strong> page explains what reviewing involves and links to the registration form. Share its address wherever your community will see it \u2014 in a newsletter, a members&#8217; email, or on your conference site. Anyone willing to help can then sign themselves up, which is the quickest way to build a broad, well-qualified panel.<\/p>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"what-reviewers-provide-when-they-register-2\">What reviewers provide when they register<\/h2>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The registration form collects what you need to place each reviewer well:<\/p>\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li><strong>Their details<\/strong> \u2014 name, organisation and contact information.<\/li><li><strong>Career stage<\/strong> \u2014 so you can balance experience across the panel.<\/li><li><strong>Category selections<\/strong> \u2014 the conference topics they&#8217;re qualified to review, which is what later matches them to the right abstracts.<\/li><li><strong>Any review preferences<\/strong> your conference asks for, such as study type or population focus, to sharpen the match.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"approving-your-reviewers-3\">Approving your reviewers<\/h2>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">As people register, they collect in <strong>Reviewer Management<\/strong> with a status of <strong>Pending<\/strong>. Go there to <strong>accept<\/strong> the reviewers you want on the panel or <strong>reject<\/strong> any that aren&#8217;t a fit. Accepted reviewers can then be allocated abstracts to assess. For the full detail of that screen, see the related article on <a href=\"\/ru\/knowledge-base\/manage-abstract-reviewers\/\">managing abstract reviewers<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n<figure data-wp-context=\"{&quot;imageId&quot;:&quot;6ab06fdcae0ca&quot;}\" data-wp-interactive=\"core\/image\" data-wp-key=\"6ab06fdcae0ca\" class=\"wp-block-image size-large kb-figure wp-lightbox-container\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1502\" height=\"647\" data-wp-class--hide=\"state.isContentHidden\" data-wp-class--show=\"state.isContentVisible\" data-wp-init=\"callbacks.setButtonStyles\" data-wp-on--click=\"actions.showLightbox\" data-wp-on--load=\"callbacks.setButtonStyles\" data-wp-on--pointerdown=\"actions.preloadImage\" data-wp-on--pointerenter=\"actions.preloadImageWithDelay\" data-wp-on--pointerleave=\"actions.cancelPreload\" data-wp-on-window--resize=\"callbacks.setButtonStyles\" src=\"https:\/\/membersites.co\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/kb-approve-reviewers-fix.webp\" alt=\"The top of Reviewer Management showing pending and accepted counts and accept or reject actions\" class=\"wp-image-7758\" srcset=\"https:\/\/membersites.co\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/kb-approve-reviewers-fix.webp 1502w, https:\/\/membersites.co\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/kb-approve-reviewers-fix-300x129.webp 300w, https:\/\/membersites.co\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/kb-approve-reviewers-fix-1024x441.webp 1024w, https:\/\/membersites.co\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/kb-approve-reviewers-fix-768x331.webp 768w, https:\/\/membersites.co\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/kb-approve-reviewers-fix-18x8.webp 18w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1502px) 100vw, 1502px\" \/><button\n\t\t\tclass=\"lightbox-trigger\"\n\t\t\ttype=\"button\"\n\t\t\taria-haspopup=\"dialog\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-bind--aria-label=\"state.thisImage.triggerButtonAriaLabel\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-init=\"callbacks.initTriggerButton\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-on--click=\"actions.showLightbox\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-style--right=\"state.thisImage.buttonRight\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-style--top=\"state.thisImage.buttonTop\"\n\t\t>\n\t\t\t<svg xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" width=\"12\" height=\"12\" fill=\"none\" viewbox=\"0 0 12 12\">\n\t\t\t\t<path fill=\"#fff\" d=\"M2 0a2 2 0 0 0-2 2v2h1.5V2a.5.5 0 0 1 .5-.5h2V0H2Zm2 10.5H2a.5.5 0 0 1-.5-.5V8H0v2a2 2 0 0 0 2 2h2v-1.5ZM8 12v-1.5h2a.5.5 0 0 0 .5-.5V8H12v2a2 2 0 0 1-2 2H8Zm2-12a2 2 0 0 1 2 2v2h-1.5V2a.5.5 0 0 0-.5-.5H8V0h2Z\" \/>\n\t\t\t<\/svg>\n\t\t<\/button><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">New registrations arrive in Reviewer Management for you to accept or decline; the cards track your Pending and Accepted counts.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"recognising-your-reviewers-4\">Recognising your reviewers<\/h2>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Reviewing is voluntary work that deserves acknowledgement, and the platform takes care of it for you.
