Set options for the review process

This will activate a number of functions related to the review process. If you do not use reviews, it is recommended to disable the module, so that unwanted functions are not displayed throughout the site.

This option is typically activated if reviewers are allowed to decide which reviews they might want to review (bidding).

Activate the bidding function

Reviewers will get access to the list of submissions and will be able to indicate their preferences for each, by selecting an option in a drop down list: [Yes / No / Maybe / Conflict].

See bidding by others

If this option is activated, reviewers biddings will be shown to all other reviewers.

Default bid

Set a default bidding option that will apply if the reviewers do not select an option. The default option can be any of the following: [Yes / No / Maybe / Conflict]. Typically, the value Maybe is chosen.

Automatic conflict detection

If a reviewer's email address is found in the list of authors of a submission, the reviewer will be flagged as having a conflict for that submission.

Leave out accepted submissions

This typically applies to the submissions of invited speakers.

Leave out declined submissions

Useful if you decide to reject a submission before the review process.

Allow reviewers to see the list of authors

Both the submitter an authors are hidden from view.

Permit reviewers to see each others' reviews

This value, if given, is only used in the automatic assignment process.

Exclude incomplete submissions from the bidding process and the review process

Allow reviewers to view extended abstracts

Allow reviewers to view full papers

This option allows reviewers to upload a file, for instance an MS-Word document, containing suggestions and corrections. Administrators can decide when to display them on the submitters' accounts.
