If an organiser has made you a reviewer, you review abstracts assigned to you and score them in the reviewer portal.
Your organiser gives you the reviewer portal link and your login details. The address ends in /reviewer. This login is separate from the main event portal and from the abstract submission portal.
There's no sign-up and no password reset in the reviewer portal. If you can't log in, contact the organiser.
The Reviewer Dashboard opens after you log in, with your name in the sidebar.
Some abstracts are reviewed blind. Instead of the author's name and email you see Anonymous submitter and a reference such as Submission #600416, in the list and at the top of the review popup. Attached files are renamed File 1, File 2 and so on. For these abstracts, search by title or reference number. The organiser still sees who the author is.
The review popup shows the author's answers on the left. Attached files appear as download links. Click View Abstract Details at the top to open the abstract call's public page in a new tab.
On the right, Rate Submission lists the criteria your organiser set. Each one is one of these:
The bar at the bottom shows how many criteria you've rated. When every criterion is filled in, click Submit Review. You'll see "Review submitted successfully".
After you submit, the review is read-only. The button changes to Already Reviewed and the average score appears. If your organiser starts a new review round, or moves the abstract back to Unreviewed, it opens for scoring again.

Use Feedback when the abstract could be accepted with changes.
You'll see "Marked as Feedback". The author is notified, sees your comment, and can resubmit.
You'll see "Abstract rejected". This marks the whole submission as rejected, so only use it when you're sure.
If you don't see the Reject or Feedback button, your organiser has kept those decisions for the committee. Score the abstract and submit your review. The organiser decides the outcome.
Click the logout icon in the header, or open the menu at the bottom of the sidebar and click Logout. Confirm with Logout.
Submit Review stays greyed out.
One or more criteria aren't filled in. Check the counter at the bottom. If your organiser hasn't set any criteria for this abstract, you can only use Feedback or Reject.
Why can't I see the author's name?
The organiser set this abstract up for anonymous review. You see "Anonymous submitter" and a submission number instead, and the files are renamed. Review it on its content.
Why is there no Reject or Feedback button?
Your organiser hid them for this abstract. Only the organiser can reject it or ask the author for changes. Submit your scores as usual.
Can I review several abstracts at once?
No. Open and review each abstract separately.
Can I change a review after submitting it?
No. Contact the organiser if you need a review reopened.
I forgot my reviewer portal password. What do I do?
There's no password reset in the reviewer portal. Contact the organiser for your login details.
Which abstracts are urgent?
Urgent Deadlines under Quick Actions on your dashboard shows unreviewed abstracts due within 7 days.
