Review group chairs may be asked to complete a report for the conference organisers. This article walks through how to complete your review group reports.
Step 1: Ensure that all assigned reviewers have completed their reviews.
You cannot complete your report until all reviews are completed. Click on the title of the submission to expand it once all reviews are complete.
Step 2: Click on the Begin Report button
Click on the Begin Report button after expanding the review. You'll find the button underneath all reviews.
Step 3: Complete your report
Clicking on the Begin Review button will open the review in full, showing you the submission and review content. There are three fields at the bottom of this window, the last of which is required.
- Reviewer Feedback for Authors is an optional field where you can leave comments that will eventually be shared with authors when decisions are published.
- Reviewer Feedback for Chairs is an optional field where you can leave comments that will be visible to the conference chairs only.
- A required field where you can recommend to Accept or Reject the submission.
You can either choose to click on the Lock Report or Close Report buttons. The Close Report button will save your report, allowing you to come back and edit the information later. The lock report button will finalise the review, meaning you will no longer be able to edit the review group report.
Please email the conference organisers directly if you have made a mistake or need to edit your review group report. They may be able to reopen your review group report.
