For reviewers

What SET Proceedings asks of a reviewer.

Before you accept

  • Accept only if the paper is within your expertise. Declining is more useful than a review outside your field, and it is never held against you.
  • Decline if you have a competing interest: a recent collaboration, a shared institution, a commercial interest, or any relationship that a reader might reasonably think could colour your judgement.
  • Accept only if you can complete the review by the deadline the conference sets.

While you review

  • The manuscript is confidential. Do not share it, quote it, or use it in your own work, before or after publication.
  • Do not enter any part of it into a generative AI system. It is not yours to upload, and doing so is a breach of confidence. See the generative AI policy.
  • Do not attempt to identify the authors, and tell the Editorial Board if you believe you have.
  • Write to the authors, not about them. Say what is wrong, why it matters, and what would fix it.

How reviewing works

Reviews are written on the review form in Caravel Press, against four criteria: originality, methodological soundness, the significance of the contribution, and clarity of presentation. A paper is reviewed once; a revised paper is checked by the editor, not sent back to the reviewers.

This policy applies to every journal we publish. Last revised 19 October 2026.
