These instructions display on the Review and Scoring tab for the reviewer of the submission, as shown below. These instructions are NOT displayed to the submitter.
Questions defined here are used by reviewers to score submissions. Typically, the Answer Type for reviewer scoring questions is either a "Drop Down" or, less often, "Yes No". It is important that the numeric value associated with each subcode answer value is defined in the Option 1 column in the App_Subcode table, because reviewer scores are averaged. If no numeric value is defined for a scoring answer, then the system will not be able to calculate the average.
To define reviewer scoring questions:
1. Once
you have created a new submission
type, defined submitter
requirements, defined
submitter disclosure questions, defined
material requirements, defined
submission disclosure questions, define
dcontent (text block) questions, defined
rules for file attachments, and defined
the review process on the Material Requirements page, from the Define
Review Process page, enter the Instructions
for Reviewers Scoring Submissions in the section highlighted below.
These instructions display on the Review and Scoring tab for the reviewer
of the submission, as shown below. These instructions are NOT displayed
to the submitter.

For example, KNOWLEDGE_OF_SUBJECT, ORIGINALITY_OF_RESEARCH, RELEVANCE, RESEARCH_STANDARDS, etc.
ii. Answer Validation Code: if the Answer Type is "DROP_DOWN", this identifies the answer code associated with the subcode values that can be selected as the answer to the submitter disclosure question. The available values are populated based on the non-fixed AUTHOR_DISCLOSURE_ANSWER system type.
