Reviewer Profile
The reviewer profile holds two declarations the program committee uses when assigning reviews: your areas of expertise per event, and the submissions you have declared a conflict of interest with.
Me > Reviews > Reviewer profile
Open your reviewer profile before review rounds begin so the committee has current expertise and conflict information.
A reviewer adds expertise in "clinical AI" and "health data governance" for an event, then — while reading an assigned submission — declares a financial conflict with it. Automatic assignment stops offering that submission to them, and the committee can match the remaining reviews to their declared keywords.
Areas of Expertise
The expertise form is always open at the top of the page. Each declaration is for one event and includes:
| Field | Description |
|---|---|
| Event | The event this expertise applies to (required). |
| Track | Optionally narrow the declaration to one session track. The default is All tracks — a track-specific declaration scores higher than an all-tracks one when submissions are matched to reviewers. |
| Keywords | Comma-separated topics describing your expertise (required). |
Click Save expertise to store the declaration. Saving again for the same event replaces the keywords you previously declared for it.
Your declarations are listed below the form, each showing the event, the track (or "All tracks"), and the keyword tags. Remove one with its delete action.
Conflicts of Interest
Conflicts are declared from the review page, not from this profile: while reading an assigned submission, click Declare a conflict of interest, choose the conflict type, and optionally add notes explaining the conflict.
| Conflict type | When to use it |
|---|---|
| Same institution or organisation | You work at, or recently worked at, the authors' institution. |
| Personal relationship or recent collaboration | You know the authors personally or have collaborated with them recently. |
| Financial or commercial interest | You stand to gain financially from the submission or its subject. |
| Other | Anything else that could question your impartiality. |
The profile lists every declaration with the submission title, the conflict type, the event, and your notes. Withdraw one with its delete action — the declaration is removed and the submission can be offered to you again.
Declaring a conflict stops automatic reviewer assignment from offering that submission to you. Conflict declarations are visible to the program committee.
If a reasonable person could question your impartiality, declare the conflict. The committee can decide whether to avoid the assignment, ask for more context, or keep you on the review.
Review assignments use this profile context when the committee distributes talks for scoring. See Review Assignments.
Journey pages need an operator sign-in to open.
Every submission is scored by eligible reviewers under the blinding the committee chose, and every author receives a decision — and only the feedback they were meant to see.
