The review form is the form used by reviewers to assess the contributions.
You can already draft the review form before you receive the abstracts/contributions and before you assign reviewers to contributions. The review form contains of, just like the contribution form, a couple of pre-made questions that are important later on in the process. We ask again NOT to change these questions. To see more specific properties of a question, click on the 'gearwheel'.
Here a short overview of the most important questions:
Contribution of the submission
This question allows the reviewer to briefly comment on the submission.
Overall recommendation
This is the most important question of the review form! This question is called the review-score and it establishes the grade a reviewer gives to a contribution. It therefore determines whether the contribution will be accepted or not.
Please note:
You can only set ONE question as review-score in your review form. You can do this at the bottom of the screen next to the word 'meaning'. Make sure this question always asks for a number as a grade, with the highest number being the best grade. The format for the numbers is 00, 01, 02, etc.. but you have the freedom to choose which wording, scale and numbers you want to use. The picture above is just an example.
Comments about this contribution
This question enables reviewers to place comments only visible for the organizer of the event. This will not be visible for authors when you give them feedback. This is thus a tool to only communicate with the organizer.
Confirmation Message (Review form)
The organizer can adjust the confirmation message at the bottom of the review form. This is the message reviewers receive after submitting their review form. In the confirmation message you will see a couple of 'replacement words'. These replacement words are used to automatically fill in information about the submission/contribution in order to create a personalized confirmation message. More information about replacement words can be found later on in this manual.
You can change the banner that will be used in the confirmation message. You can do this under the email settings of the event: go to 'Dashboard', choose 'email settings', scroll down to 'email banner' and upload your banner.
TIP:
Click on 'preview website' after making adjustments in the form. This can be found on the top right in the pink bar and will allow you to see your changes through the eyes of an author.
