Describe the problem you would like to solve
Our editors have expressed a need to easily attach reviewers’ previous reviews when asking the reviewers to review the submission in a subsequent round. Currently (as of OJS 3.3), reviewers do not have access to their own or other reviewers’ previous assessments when they log in to review a revised submission. Having this functionality would help reviewers maintain consistency and better understand the changes made by authors based on previous feedback.
Describe the solution you’d like
We would like the system to provide an option for editors to make previous reviews available to reviewers when they are assigned to review a revised version of a submission. This could be done by making these documents available to attach to the review request or by making them viewable directly in the reviewer’s interface when they log in for the re-review task.
