Selection Phase

To select articles, chairs usually look at the list in Events I'm Chairing > Administrate Event > Submissions. Here, chairs can apply different filters on the list of submitted papers and edit their information.

Also, chairs can look at the list of papers in Events I'm Chairing > Administrate Event > Submissions Ranking. Here, chairs can filter, sort, and select which papers to accept or reject. When the list is requested it is possible to order the articles by the average of the scores ("Avg." Or "Gavg"), where the articles with a higher average represent the articles with the best scores from the reviewers. The averages are calculated using the scores values ​​of the article reviews and weights configured in the review form. Remember that the weights of the review form can be changed even after the revisions have been completed, but the remaining items should not be changed.

Would you like the acceptance message from the paper and tutorials, for example, to be different? To notify articles of different tracks or categories, you can do the following way:

1. Go to Notify Authors menu. Here, you can see all papers and their current status (accepted/rejected);
2. Select the papers you want to notify;
3. Click on "Click here to edit the e-mail template to be used";
4. Select the type of e-mail from the list;
5. Update the template and go back to Notify Authors menu;
6. Click on "Notify Authors".

NOTE: When applicable, track files can be configured to receive new files, such as the camera-ready.

Note that changing the submission status to accepted/rejected IS NOT shown to authors until they receive the notification. They will see the "Active" status until receiving the notification. After being notified, authors can access the comments and final status of the submission.
