With this application feature switched on, reviewers can be rewarded with vouchers when they send a review report. Journal by journal, the journal editor decides if vouchers are applicable and sets up the amount and currency of the vouchers that can be granted to reviewers.
When a review report is sent in, editors can grant vouchers to reviewers directly within the peer-review process in JAMS.
The granted voucher can then be redeemed in two ways.
The voucher code can be entered by the author at the end of the manuscript submission process.
Or it can be applied to an APC invoice by the editor after a manuscript is accepted for publication.
In both cases, the voucher amount will be deducted from the total invoice amount. Please note that, in order to use reviewer vouchers, the Billing Module feature must first be enabled to ensure that JAMS creates invoices for the article processing charges.
