I.C. OVERVIEW: FINDING A LEAD REVIEWER.

Once an article has been assigned, the editor must find a lead reviewer for the article.  (The article's lead reviewer is an expert on the topic who reads and comments on the article "anonymously," so that the lead review process is "blind.")  The editor may choose a lead reviewer from among the category's official peer reviewers or may opt to find someone from outside the project entirely; in some cases the editor might make him- or herself the lead reviewer.
