Step 1: Author initiates a review request for a preprint

The corresponding author of a preprint hosted in the repository chooses the appropriate PCI X (community) from a list (obtained from the PCI API) and generates a request for an endorsement.

The API providing the list of PCI Communities is at: https://api.peercommunityin.org/all/coar_inbox
