How to set Reviewers Auto Reminder to “more than once”

There are many times a reviewer replies our Editor-In-Chief, that they missed the review reminder. I am wondering is there a way to set Reviewers Auto Reminder to “more than once”?

Can I set the reviewers auto-reminder mails to be sent say every 7 days for about 4 times within a month, before it stops sending the reviewer further reminder mails?

The current settings now is that; just one reminder is sent and that’s all.

I think about 4 reminders should be better.

Any ideas? Can someone point me in the right direction on how to implement this.

Hi @Kivos_Webmasters_ICT,

The code that sends the automatic reminder is implemented in lib/pkp/classes/task/ReviewReminder.inc.php. As you’ll see, it currently checks if a reminder has already been sent for that review assignment, and if one has, it skips sending another.
