Reviewer

Scores abstracts against criteria somebody else set. Wants an unambiguous queue, a clear statement of what is being asked, and a way to declare a conflict of interest rather than quietly avoid the submission.

Where they work

In the reviewer portal, on the submissions assigned to them. Nothing else about the event is theirs to see.

What they are responsible for

Scoring what they were given, against criteria somebody else set, and saying so when they should not be the one scoring it.

What they can do

• Open the submissions assigned to them and see what is being asked.
• Score against the criteria and leave comments.
• Declare a conflict of interest instead of quietly avoiding a submission.
• Keep their own reviewer profile and areas of expertise current.

What they cannot do

• Choose their own assignments, or see submissions they were not given.
• Decide the outcome — the committee does that, using their scores.

Journeys they take part in

These are the end-to-end chains of work that name them — the steps they own, and the ones that only affect them.

Journey pages need an operator sign-in to open.

Delivery

• Call for papers to published programmeSubmissions are reviewed, accepted, scheduled, and published.
• Review, score and decide submissionsEvery 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.

Close

• Recognise a programme contributionAn earned presenter, poster, chair or reviewer contribution becomes a verifiable certificate, with explicit correction and retained validity history.
