  • Best Academic Paper Awards

    Best Academic Paper Awards Process

    All nominated papers have gone through blind peer-review. Final nominees will be chosen by the Academic Program Chairs from those that received best reviews and have been nominated for awards by reviewers. 

    The winning papers will be chosen by an independent jury panel, which was asked to review the nominated papers based on:

    • contribution;
    • methodology;
    • clarity.

    Best Academic Reviewer Awards

    Best Academic Reviewer Awards Process

    Reviewers provide feedback on submitted papers, suggest improvements and make a recommendation to the Program Chairs about whether to accept, reject or request changes to the papers. 

    Reviewing is a volunteer activity. It is a time-intensive process and we are grateful to all our reviewers for contributing to our community. As a small way to recognise them we have implemented this award.

    The nomination is based on careful consideration of all the reviews based on the following criteria:

    • rigor of review, contribution to improve the paper, contribution to developing the conference;
    • rejection reviews count, if they are grounded, detailing the research weaknesses for rejecting and helping the authors to improve their work;
    • scathing rejection eliminates a nominee;
    • glanced-over acceptances eliminate a nominee;
    • emphasis on form (style, organization) rather than substance (research quality) is not a desirable reviewing focus.

    The winning reviews will be chosen by an independent jury panel, which was asked to do a meta-review of the nominated reviews based on the criteria above.
