Reviewers play a critical role in the peer review process by evaluating submitted papers and providing expert feedback. In PeerSubmit, organizers can easily invite reviewers, manage their profiles, and assign them to submissions based on their expertise.

All reviewer management is handled inside your conference workspace under the CFP Settings section.

Open the Reviewers Section

To add reviewers to your conference, first navigate to the reviewers management page.

• Open your conference dashboard.
• In the left sidebar, go to CFP Settings.
• Click Reviewers.
• You will see the list of current reviewers assigned to the conference.

Add a New Reviewer

You can invite new reviewers by adding their profile to the conference review committee.

• Click the Add Reviewer button.
• Enter the reviewer’s name, email, and affiliation.
• Add the reviewer’s expertise areas or research topics.
• Save the reviewer profile.

Once added, the reviewer becomes part of the conference review committee and can be assigned to evaluate submissions.

Reviewer Expertise and Topics

PeerSubmit allows organizers to tag reviewers with their areas of expertise. This helps match submissions with the most suitable reviewers.

• Artificial Intelligence
• Machine Learning
• Natural Language Processing
• Large Language Models
• Data Science and Computing

Using expertise tags ensures that papers are reviewed by experts who understand the topic and research domain.

Managing Reviewer Profiles

After adding reviewers, you can update or manage their profiles directly from the reviewers list.

• Edit reviewer information.
• Update expertise areas.
• Remove reviewers if they are no longer part of the committee.

Keeping reviewer profiles updated helps maintain an organized and effective review committee.

Best Practices for Selecting Reviewers

Selecting the right reviewers helps ensure a fair and high-quality peer review process.

• Choose reviewers with relevant subject expertise.
• Avoid conflicts of interest.
• Maintain diversity across institutions and research areas.
• Assign multiple reviewers per submission when possible.

A well-balanced reviewer panel improves evaluation quality and strengthens the credibility of your conference.
