Review Process
All submissions have been subject to a double-blind peer review with at least two anonymous reviewers per abstract to ensure a high quality of papers and to facilitate a coherent conference programme. The review process has been organized as follows:
- After closing the call for papers (18 February 2021) all submissions were reviewed by the international review panel.
- All abstracts have been reviewed independently by at least two reviewers, assigned on a random basis.
- Review criteria were the scientific quality of the proposal, originality of the proposed research and its relevance regarding the conference theme.
- Abstracts have been ranked on a scale from 1 to 10 for each criteria (with 10 being the highest possible score). Considering the three criteria and two reviewers an abstratc could score a maximum of 60 points.
- For every abstract aggregated scores were then calculated and ranked accordingly.
- In a final step the highest ranking abstracts were assigned to different thematic blocks, while taking into account gender balance as well as geographic representation.
- Notifications of acceptance were sent out by 9 March 2017, on the basis of the ranking.
