The reason you want to filter is because some Reviewers are not assigned papers. If they are not filtered out, the Reviewers will get an email with no Paper IDs. In this case, filter for >0 in the assigned column. This gives you all Reviewers who have assigned papers.</li> </ul> <p><img src="images/email-reviewers/email-reviewers-manage-reviewers-filter.png" alt="Email Reviewers"></p> <ul> <li>Select ‘Actions>Email.’</li> </ul> <p><img src="images/email-reviewers/email-reviewers-manage-reviewers-actions-email.png" alt="Email Reviewers"></p> <ul> <li>A template will have to be created.
