META-REVIEWER

A Meta-Reviewer will need to be in the conference.

Let’s say you have just added a Meta-Reviewer to your conference.

  • Go to the Manage Senior Meta-Reviewers page and click the number in the ‘Assigned’ column.
    The ‘Edit Senior Meta-Reviewer Assignments’ page opens.

Senior Meta-Review Settings

This is what the Senior Meta-Reviewer page would look like with just one Meta-Reviewer.

  • Check the box at the end of the row.
    This will eventually assign whatever paper assigned to the Meta-Reviewer also be assigned to the Senior Meta-Reviewer.

Senior Meta-Review Settings

You would then have to assign a paper to the Meta-Reviewer in order for the Senior Meta-Reviewer to see it.

  • Find the paper you want, then from the Edit Assignments (Meta-Reviewer) page check the box at the end of the row of the Meta-Reviewer you want assigned this paper.

Senior Meta-Review Settings

The paper will be seen in the Senior Meta-Reviewer Console.

Senior Meta-Review Settings

Note

The Meta-Reviewer will not see the assignment until the Meta-Reviewer submission is enabled in the timeline.
