  reviewers time at meetings

Overall Process Flow

• How does Internet Assisted Review fit into the
  existing Peer Review process?

1. SRA Prepares Meeting/ Reviewers for IAR SRA
finalizes meeting assignments, selects meeting
for IAR and specifies critique submission and
other deadlines.
2. Reviewer Registers for IAR Reviewer account
creation and registration via email.
4. Read-Only Phase After submission deadline,
Reviewers may read other Reviewers critiques.
If a reviewer has not submitted, the SRA may
block the Reviewer from reading.
6. Generate Summary Statements draft bodies are
built from critiques.
5. Optional Edit Phase After the meeting,
Reviewers may modify their critiques.
3. Submit Phase Reviewers log in and submit
critiques and preliminary priority scores for
their applications.
