How do I access a paper I need to review?

1. Go to Reviewing -> New submissions. You will see a list of papers assigned to you.

2. Click on the small pencil icon to the right of each title; see image below:

A new window will open, where you can download and read the paper, view the evaluation criteria and enter your comments.

What are the components of a review?

Each review consists of the following components:

1. Evaluation criteria.

Evaluation is based on six criteria, all weighted equally. Each criterion is scored on a predefined scale from 1 to 3. The criteria are the following :

Importance/Significance of the topic; Interest / Conference fit; Originality / Novelty; Philosophical contribution & argument potential; Theories / Concepts mobilized (rigor & pertinence); Feasibility & development into a full paper.

2. Internal comment.

This comment is only visible to the conference coordinator and will not be shared with the author.

3. Comment for contributor.

This section contains feedback that will be shared with the author.

4. Topic Suggestion (Optional).

If you believe the paper would be better suited to a different conference track, you may suggest an alternative topic here. This suggestion will be communicated to the author.

How do I submit my review?

Once you have completed all parts of the review, click Save to submit it. Your review will be recorded automatically once it is saved.

Can I edit my review after submitting it?

Yes, you can change your review before the end of the review period on the 9th of March. 

After saving your review, it will appear under Reviewing -> Submissions reviewed. You can reopen it from this section and make changes until the review period ends.
