JVRD is on the Move!

On Monday, October 26, ASRS launched PeerTrack, the new manuscript submission and peer review platform for the Journal of VitreoRetinal Diseases (JVRD). PeerTrack is a customized version of Editorial Manager, a system many JVRD authors and reviewers may already know from other scholarly journals.

Every ASRS member will receive an email with instructions for setting up a PeerTrack profile. After the launch, authors will submit new manuscripts in PeerTrack, and reviewers will accept new invitations and complete their reviews there. Manuscripts and reviews already in progress in ScholarOne will stay in ScholarOne during the transition.

A Reminder to JVRD Peer Reviewers: If you’ve accepted an invitation to review a manuscript in ScholarOne, please finish your review as soon as possible. We also encourage you to keep accepting new review invitations over the coming weeks. Your timely reviews will help us conclude activities in ScholarOne as we move to our new platform.
