Reviewers evaluate assigned research papers and provide feedback through the PeerSubmit review system. The platform provides a structured review workflow that allows reviewers to read manuscripts, evaluate them using scoring criteria, and submit their final recommendations.

The review process helps conference organizers assess the quality, originality, and impact of submitted research before making final acceptance decisions.

Reviewers first need to log in to their PeerSubmit account using the credentials provided by the conference organizers.
