TPC Member – Role and Responsibilities through the Review Process
You have been invited to join the Technical Program Committee and your role is essential to the successful completion of the conference review process.
As TPC member you will be responsible for handling the paper(s) that the Chairs assign to you. This means the following:
- Inviting Reviewers (a minimum of three reviews are needed)
- Ensuring reviews are delivered on time
- Ensuring the reviews present a qualified and professional evaluation of the submission
- In case a Review is not suitable, you can mark it Non-Admissible
- Delivering a recommendation for the Chairs based on your expertise and the review comments
- Evaluating the Reviewers’ input
NOTE: You also have the opportunity to bid on papers before the Chairs assign them to individual TPC members – doing so promptly after you receive the notifying email increases your chances of handing the paper(s) of your choosing.
Before the Review begins, it is advisable to note down the Submission deadline, as you can expect to be approached a few days after this deadline. Your activity begins at the Paper Assignment stage of the review process, see your responsibilities in a chronological order below:
