Reviewer Guidelines

Scale
  • 1 (lowest rating) to 5 (highest rating)
Recommendations
  • Acceptance - This category means that the paper should be accepted "as is".
  • Acceptance With Minor Revision - This category means that the Reviewers have some minor suggestions or recommended changes, but that the paper is acceptable as a whole. For minor revisions, authors will be asked to address the revisions (i.e. the author may incorporate the suggestion or the author could state why a particular suggestion is not really important or to the point.)
  • Acceptance With Major Revision - This category means that the Reviewers have found a substantial problem with the paper that is correctable. If major revisions are suggested, we will require the authors to write a note that describes how the major revisions have been addressed/incorporated in the final draft. If the program chairs and original reviewers do not feel the major problems exhibited in the original submission have been adequately rectified then the submission may be ultimately rejected.
  • Reject - This category means that the Reviewers feel that this submission has serious problems that cannot be rectified.
