Describe the issue or problem
i try to reinstate the reviewer but the reviewer declined. when reinstate reviewer cannot view submission because already declined.
what is the correct procedure to reinstate reviewer if the reviewer already declined other than delete in the database.
Steps I took leading up to the issue
For example:
Assign reviewer
login as reviewer
decline review
reinstate the reviewer back
What application are you using?
OJS 3.3.0.14 in the pkp demo… i literally test in the demo and cannot reinstate the reviewer
Did you try initiating a new round of review and inviting the reviewer as part of that round? I don’t think you can re-invite the reviewer as part of a round if they’ve already declined.
no its in the 1 round review. if we cancel the review, there is a button to reinstate the reviewer.
if we click the button it will go through. but the reviewer didnt get the article back.
I am wondering the same thing. What is the point of having a reinstate reviewer option if the reviewer cannot see the submission once being reinstated? Is the idea that you should start another round of review and in that round the reviewer can see the submission?
I have to second all comments. sometimes it is necessary to REINSTATE a decline reviewer, but creating a new review round is not a valid option, it is very very messy.
This is how I went around it.
I create a fake reviewer and invited it. I have used a different false email and detials, but a sensible username.
then I merged the declined reviewer INTO the new fake reviewer; then I edited all details. But note that BOTH reviewers (the initial, declined reviewer and the newly created one) are listed in the invited reviewer list, one as declined and the other as invited.
A bit silly, really, but the only way I could add the same reviewer again.

Starting with OJS 3.4.0-0, editors can use the “Resend Review Request” action to re-send the review request to the reviewer. This will also reset their “Decline” response, and they’ll be able to accept or reject the review.
