WikiJournal of Medicine/Associate editors/Intro email to authors

Example email for peer review coordinators when first introducing themselves to authors:

Dear [AUTHOR TITLE AND NAME HERE], My name is [NAME ED.BOARD MEMBER], I am the Editorial Board member of WikiJournal of Medicine who will be responsible for handling the Peer Review of your submission. We strive to make the peer review process as useful for our authors as possible. You can find a recent (openly accessible) example of our peer review process here: https://en.wikiversity.org/wiki/Talk:WikiJournal_of_Medicine/Eukaryotic_and_prokaryotic_gene_structure. FURTHER PROCESS As a first step in our Peer Review process, your submission will be reviewed by the handling Editor (myself) and possibly other Editorial Board Members. This allows us to unify the papers we publish in terms of style, fix minor spelling and grammar issues etc. as well as allow a thorough first assessment as early as possible in the review process. After that, we will send the manuscript out for external peer review. The final decision for publication lies with the Editor in Chief and the rest of the Editorial Board. 1/ At this point, we kindly ask you to review the Editorial Comments, which you can find here: https://en.wikiversity.org/wiki/Talk:Microlissencephaly:_a_comprehensive_review#Editorial_board_member's_comments Please provide a Response and/or make changes to your submission as appropriate (or alternatively, we can make changes for you e.g. if you need to change the Title of your work). 2/ After these points have been addressed, we will invite external peer reviewers. You may choose to suggest 3-5 candidate external peer reviewers for your submission, although the choice of peer reviewers lies with the handling Editor. Thank you for choosing Wiki Journal of Medicine. I hope you value our peer review process, please do not hesitate to contact me should you have any further comments or questions. with kindest regards, [ED.BOARD MEMBER NAME/ SIGNATURE]
