Reviewer Information

Welcome to DSJ Online. Decision Sciences is pleased to have you as a member of its Editorial Team, sharing the goal to provide superior customer service to authors who submit manuscripts to DSJ. Central to achieving that goal is for authors to have prompt access to reviews that provide clear, meaningful feedback. Your reviews are fundamental to gleaning the best articles that can be published in DSJ. You are critical to DSJ's success, and we appreciate your involvement.

Tutorials
Several Tutorials for Reviewers are available in DSJ Online's HELP & TUTORIALS section to assist you with the review submission process and administrative details. Each provides step-by-step instructions that you can download or print, or to which you can simply refer.

Editorial Statement
If you have not already done so, please examine DSJ's Editorial Statement.
Review Process
Every manuscript will undergo a review process that involves at least two Reviewers, an Associate Editor, and the Editor. Please examine the process so you can best understand your role in it and how to provide informative and developmental reviews.
Manuscript Evaluation Criteria and Guidelines
Manuscripts submitted to DSJ for publication consideration are judged on specific criteria. All reviews must follow a specific format, and should include separate Comments to the Editor and Comments to the Author.
Topic and Methodological Areas of Expertise
Because it is so important that the most appropriate reviewers evaluate a manuscript, reviewers must indicate review key words that best define their topic and methodological areas of expertise. This also helps ensure that requests for your review are limited to areas in which you are most knowledgeable and familiar.

DSJ Online's Review Center provides a secure on-line environment for submitting reviews, updating your User Profile, indicating your availability to review manuscripts, tracking your reviewer performance, and confirming your decision to review.
