software to track peer reviews/peer reviewers
Hej (Swedish for Hi),
Most of the times when I submit a manuscript to a scientific journal, that journal will ask me to supply the names, addresses and email addresses of 3-4 potential peer reviewers (they will scrutinize my paper and judge its quality). I do this over and over again. Sometimes a manuscript is rejected and I am quite convinced I know who rejected the paper (although peer review is anonymous), and I might not want to recommend that person again for the very same manuscript. Sometimes I have recommended a person as a peer reviewer several times within the last months, and want to recommend someone else.
It could also be nice to have some statistics of how many times a certain person has been recommended, and for what journal. Of course this could probably be done in Excel, but perhaps there is some nice Mac-program for this (otherwise, is anyone interrested in writing one...?)
I am looking for a software that could handle the following:
name of the reviewer
current email
current address
current institution
reasons for choosing him/her as a peer reviewer
Last time he was recommended
Number of times he/she has been recommended.
A list of all journals, dates and for what papers he has been recommended
The outcome of each submission when he/she was recommended
Please make a template for this!
Extra feature if possible, to import certain data through the web site http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/PubMed/
(in order to find addresses including email addresses to prominent) researchers.
I am looking for a new software or a Bento Template?
could anyone help me?

Please contact me if you want me to test the template.
No, although I was thinking
No, although I was thinking of writing such a program for my own use. I'd probably do it with a locally-running SQL database though, which mightn't be what you want.
