Referee reports for JME

Step 1: Accepting or declining our invitation to review a manuscript

Under the EES system (http://www205.ees.elsevier.com/monec/), you will receive an invitation to review a manuscript via email.  This email message will contain your username and your password, so as to make it easy for you to access the materials.

When you log on as a referee, you will see a menu that shows you

New Reviewer Invitations including the invitation that you were just sent

Pending Assignments -- reports that you have agreed to produce but have not yet sent in to the Journal.

Completed Assignments -- reports that you have produced previously for the Journal.

Click on New Reviewer Invitations, you will see be a page that gives you information on the manuscript including three key fields highlighted in blue as below:

View Submission : you can view or download a pdf version of the manuscript, to aid you in deciding whether to review it now and for preparing a review later. Please do not transmit these pdfs to other people as they are confidential documents given to the journal and to you as part of the review process. However, many are separately available via various working paper series.

Accept to Review : we are sending you the manuscript because we think that you will provide a combination of expert knowledge as well as being able to provide the author with perspective on his contribution.  If you do not feel you are the right person to produce the review, due to a conflict of interest or because it is outside of your area of expertise, please contact the editor. If you accept the reviewing invitation, we will expect your review within in 4 weeks.

Decline to Review : if it is not a good period for you to produce a timely review for JME or if there are other reasons for you to decline, please do so quickly.  We also appreciate your providing a list of other individuals that might provide a good review for the manuscript.
