Here are some suggestions for evaluators to make their opinions:
– Note that there are three types of work: scientific articles, technical reports, and posters. Consider assessing according to the specific type of work you receive;
– Bring not only the weak points of the article but also the positive aspects of the work;
– Try not just to point out problems in the assessment. Offer tips on how the author(s) can improve their work;
– Its evaluation is qualitative (minimum of 125 words to describe the strengths and opportunities for improvement) and quantitative (assessing with grades from 1 to 5 the objective, method, bibliography used, writing, contribution, and relevance of the work);
– Try to be constructive in your assessments. Remember that it is an article submitted for a congress and that it can still be adjusted for a later definitive submission in a journal;
– Keep in mind that your review is essential to the author(s) and that it can help them improve their work;
– Be clear in your notes about work. Avoid evaluations that may further confuse the author(s);
– Be kind in your assessment. Treat the author(s) of the article the way you would like to be treated;
– Any sensitive information about the work that you deem relevant to be directed to the theme leaders and organizing team – that is not made available to the author(s) – put it in the “Comments restricted to coordination” field. Use this field to clarify your final opinion of the article’s quality. Avoid indecision in your impressions of the work;
– If you understand that the article is good and can already be directed for publication in a journal, indicate it to the fast track. Otherwise, do not make this recommendation.
