One of the most important aspects of the SIGCSE Technical Symposium is the volunteer reviewers who provide feedback on submissions to the various tracks of the symposium. We need many people to step up to review the paper, workshop, panel, and special session submissions during
round 1 in August 2024, and Birds-of-a-Feather (BoF), poster, demo, lightning talk, student research competition, and nifty assignment submissions during
round 2 in October 2024.
We invite you to share your interest in reviewing or serving as an Associate Program Chair (APC) for SIGCSE TS 2025. APCs read the round 1 papers, facilitate conversations between the reviewers, and write meta reviews.
Note that APCs do not write reviews themselves. From these conversations, the APCs make recommendations to the Program Chairs about accepting or rejecting papers on the main track.
We will also need APCs for poster reviews during round 2.
We'll follow up with a more formal confirmation, but we ask you to be patient as we select people for round 1 first. If you are available and interested for round 2, we will likely contact you in mid summer 2024.
We expect that paper reviewers will generally be asked to review 3–5 submissions. Reviewers can also indicate that they are willing to reviewer fewer submissions (1–2) or more (6–8). SInce other tracks often involve shorter submissions, reviewers will generally be asked to review 7–9 submissions.
Reviewers are expected to review the guidelines, spend appropriate time reading submissions, prepare helpful reviews, and participate in discussions.
The timeline for reviewers of Round 1 submissions (Papers, Panels, Special Sessions, and Workshops) will be:
- Complete EasyChair profile: June 2024
- Bid on abstracts (papers): July 15 - August 1, 2024
- Review tIme frame: August 5 - 21, 2024
- Discussion: August 22 - 29. 2024
- APC Recommendation Deadline: August 30, 2024
The timeline for reviewers of Round 2 submissions (ACM Student Research Competition, BoFs, Demos, Lightning Talks, Nifty Assignments, and Posters) will be:
- Reviewing: Oct. 17 - Oct. 31, 2024
- Discussion (posters only): Oct. 31 - Nov. 5, 2024
In this form you may indicate your interest in helping with round 1 only, round 2 only, both, or either. We welcome as much help as you feel comfortable providing.
Thank you so much for contributing your expertise and time to the SIGCSE Community! We can't pull this off without your help.
