SIGCSE 2024 - Reviewers & Associate Program Chair Interest
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 late summer 2023, and Birds-of-a-Feather (BoF), poster, demo, lightning talk, student research competition, and nifty assignment submissions during round 2 in the fall.

We invite you to share your interest in reviewing or serving as an Associate Program Chair (APC) for SIGCSE TS 2024.  APCs write meta reviews and facilitate conversations between the reviewers.  From these conversations, the APCs make recommendations to the Program Chairs about accepting or rejecting papers on the main track.  We will likely also need APCs for workshop, panel, special session, poster, and BOF reviews.

We'll follow up with a more formal confirmation in July.

Paper reviewers have traditionally reviewed 3–4 submissions; we welcome reviewers willing to review more.  Paper APCs typically review between 8-9 submissions.  Since other tracks often involve shorter submissions, we will ask, but not require, reviewers to review more than 3–4.  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: July 2023
- Bid on abstracts (papers): Early August
- Bid on abstracts (other submissions): Mid August
- Review Deadline: Early of September
- Discussion: Early September
- APC Recommendation Deadline: End of September

The timeline for reviewers of Round 2 submissions (ACM Student Research Competition, BoFs, Demos, Lightning Talks, Nifty Assignments, and Posters)
- Review: Late October - Early November 
- Track chairs may follow up with more detailed timelines that could include a short period for bidding and discussion in this window.

Thank you so much for contributing your expertise and time to the SIGCSE Community! We can't pull this off without your help.

We encourage experienced reviewers to volunteer to serve as Associate Program Chairs (APCs).  See this ACM SIGCSE site describing the reviewing process and APC Responsibilities for the 2023 conference.  We expect SIGCSE TS 2024 responsibilities will be similar, but there may be changes in an effort to improve the process and overall quality of the reviews people receive.
