If a submission has become stalled in the NIHMS process as a result of inaction by the assigned Reviewer, and you are a Verified Author or principal investigator (PI) on an associated award, the record will be listed in the Available to Claim filter of your My Manuscripts page. If you do not see the paper on your My Manuscripts page, contact the NIHMS Help Desk to confirm that you are eligible to be a Reviewer and request access to the record.

If you are already associated with the record, click on the manuscript title to view the record details. From the record details page, you may click on the “Assign to Me” button to take over Reviewer responsibilities and move the submission forward. 

If you would like to take over Reviewer responsibilities for a record that is not stalled in the NIHMS process, please contact the NIHMS Help Desk with your request.
