In this guide, the term "reviewer" will be used to represent both external reviewers (academia) and external evaluators (research). Distinctions between the two will be made in specific sections of the guide if necessary.
\uD83E\uDD14 Problem
As an administrator, there are multiple places to add external reviewers to a candidate’s dossier in PROMOTE. It can be confusing to know which place to go to manage the reviewers depending on what needs to be done.
\uD83C\uDF31 Solution
If you are adding a reviewer on behalf of a candidate before they have submitted their dossier, follow these steps.
Log in to PROMOTE (promote.gatech.edu) using your Georgia Tech credentials.
Select the correct process (Academic Promotion & Tenure, Research Faculty Promotion, Critical Review, Academic Non-Tenure Track Faculty, or Tenure on Appointment).
Scroll through the candidate grid for the process you selected to find the candidate’s row and click on their name in the leftmost column or Edit in the rightmost column to open the candidate’s dossier.
On the dossier page, scroll down to the Components section.
Find the External Reviewer component box (or External Evaluator component box if you’re working in the Research Faculty Promotion process), and click +Add.
In the following External Reviewer pop-up, you can add reviewers on behalf of the candidate.
The Manage button that also appears in the External Reviewer component box on the candidate dossier page will take you to a different page. This is a short cut to the administrative page where you would add reviewers on behalf of someone who is NOT the candidate or manage reviewer emails and letters. For an additional way to navigate to the administrative page, read below.
If you are adding a reviewer on behalf of anyone that’s not the candidate (ex: a committee, the chair/lab director) OR if you are managing reviewer emails and letters, follow these steps.
Log in to PROMOTE (promote.gatech.edu) using your Georgia Tech credentials.
Select the correct process (Academic Promotion & Tenure, Research Faculty Promotion, Academic Non-Tenure Track Faculty, or Tenure on Appointment).
Scroll through the candidate grid for the process you selected to find the candidate’s row and click Manage Reviewers (or Manage Evaluators in the Research Faculty Promotion process) in the rightmost column to navigate to that candidate’s External Reviewer Manager page.
