Late-Breaking Review Process

Your submission will be assigned to 3 reviewers based on topic keywords you select. All reviewers have indicated areas they are interested in. We will match their selections with the matching phrases you specify on cover page two.

You can do nothing about the reviewers' self-classification, but you should think carefully about the keywords you provide. Do not select too many matching phrases, or your submission will match no reviewer well, and every reviewer so-so. Pick a set that best characterizes the way you want your work reviewed.

A secondary input into assignments will be title and abstract. In cases when the keywords are not enough to produce a decision, we will browse this information to get a better idea of what the submission is about. So make sure that the title is revealing and that the abstract provides a concise and accurate summary of the submission content. Remember that we anticipate many submissions. We cannot promise to read each one in full before we assign reviewers.

Reviewers write and submit their reviews electronically. We have found that this increases the quality of the reviews, encouraging more explanatory material to substantiate the reviewers' opinions.
