How Do I Review SIGCSE Submissions?

Submissions are reviewed according to categories indicated by the authors. Reviewers will be assigned up to four submissions based on their indicated subject areas of expertise. Up to four reviewers are assigned to each. Papers are only available in electronic PDF format. Reviewers must use a browser capable of displaying PDF documents.

Step 1: You will be sent a reference number and password for each submission assigned to you. Become familiar with the review criteria by looking at the sample review forms for papers, panels,  special sessions, and workshops.

Step 2: Access your assigned submissions(s) through the Submission Viewing Form. You may review the submission on-line or print it for review at your leisure.

Step 3: After reviewing, complete a report for each submission.

Note: All reviews will be distributed anonymously to both the author(s) and reviewers of that submission. This will give the author feedback and provide information to reviewers as well. It is hoped that, over time, this feedback will help make the review process more consistent as reviewers can compare their responses to those of others.

How Do I Volunteer to Review?

All SIGCSE members are encouraged to participate in the reviewing process.
