RSECon25 needs your help. Submissions don't review themselves and we are looking for volunteers to help review and sift through them to decide what to include in the programme.
Call for reviewers is now open, find out more and sign up at https://rsecon25.society-rse.org/call-for-reviewers/
RSECon25Call For Reviewers - RSECon25Call for reviewers Reviewers play a crucial role in building the conference programme. Becoming a reviewer is a great way to: The assessments provided by reviewers are invaluable to the conference programme team. Each year we receive a large number of submissions and we want to give all of them the attention they deserve. We continue to strive for a large team of reviewers that represents the rich diversity of skills, experience levels and career stages in the research software community. This will allow us to build a conference programme that reflects the real interests of our community. Whatever your previous experience in performing peer review, please consider signing up as a reviewer for RSECon25, and contributing a few hours to help. As a reviewer, you will receive a combination of submissions for talks, panels, workshops, walkthroughs and/or posters. Reviews can be completed in your own time, through a simple online platform. Each submission will contain an abstract and several additional fields related to their submission type, and we will give you guidance to help you reach a decision. We expect each abstract you are assigned to take between 5-15 minutes to review. This is a double blind process; you will not see author details and authors will not see your identity. We are aware that circumstances (e.g. prominent software/projects) may limit author anonymity, therefore if you feel unable to complete an impartial review, we can reallocate the submission. A minimum of two reviewers will be assigned per submission. The combination of your decision with that of your co-reviewer/s will inform the programme committee’s selection of submissions that are accepted for the conference. We fully expect to see divergence between reviewers; opinions from all members of the community are valid and welcome. This year, we want to make this process as transparent as possible and encourage more of you to get involved! On April 16th we are hosting a webinar to outline the submission and review processes. During the webinar, we will show you the platform we are using to handle submissions (Oxford Abstracts), and you will have the opportunity to ask questions. If you would like to come to the webinar, register your details to receive the Zoom joining instructions. A recording of the webinar will be made available after the event. Attendance is optional. Responsibilities: In summary, for the review process, we (conference committee) have the following responsibilities to you (reviewer): As a reviewer: The call will close at 23:59 BST on Tuesday May 6th. As always, if you have any questions about signing up to review, please reach out to us at rsecon25-programme-team@society-rse.org. Thank you for considering becoming a reviewer!
