Light Peer Review: tasks for the judge (or LPR manager)

The workflow of a paper judge is largely similar to that of a reviewer. Judges can only judge papers assigned to them by paper managers.

The list of papers that you can judge is available in the Judging area.

Note: the LPR manager can at any time judge any submitted paper even if not explicitly assigned to them from the management area.

Paper judges have the final say when it comes to accepting a paper. They can either accept or reject a paper or request corrections. If corrections are requested, the author of the paper will be able to submit a new version which needs to be reviewed and judged again.

Note that a paper can only be judged by one judge.

Before adding a judgement, make sure that reviewers have had the chance to review the paper. You can see the assigned reviewers in the Judging area. Judgements can be reset by clicking on the Reset judgement icon in the judgement box:

As a judge, you can also leave comments on a paper before adding a judgement.

Note: Both reviewing and judging might have a set deadline, after which it is not possible to review or judge papers. If a deadline is set, you will see it in the Reviewing and Judging areas.
