Review Templates

Create custom review forms with specific criteria for your conference

What are Review Templates?

Review templates define the criteria and rating scales that reviewers use when evaluating papers. You can create custom templates tailored to your conference's specific needs, including rating-based criteria (e.g., 1-5 stars) and text feedback sections.

Creating a Review Template

Step 1: Access Review Templates

Navigate to your conference's Chair Dashboard and click on "Review Templates" in the settings menu.

Step 2: Create New Template

Click "Create Template" and give it a descriptive name (e.g., "Full Paper Review Form").

Step 3: Add Criteria

Add review criteria with their type (rating or text) and configure options like maximum rating value.

Step 4: Set as Default

Optionally set the template as default for all paper reviews in your conference.
