Preliminary release notes

New features

Submissions & Review

Abstract Reviews JMT-12773

The new review component lets a committee of reviewers do a review of abstracts in multiple variations. Abstract can be reviewed all by the same committee, they can be separated by e.g. topic or in multiple rounds of reviews by different committees.

The reviewers will first see a list of review processes they are assigned to.

From there, they are taken to their actual list of abstracts for review in that process.

The review allows suggestions and scoring in multiple criteria. Additional questions are raised using review custom queries. Also, reviewers can decline a review if they have a conflict of interest.

To make the process work, both abstracts and reviewers need to be assigned to a review. Then it is possible to assign abstracts to the reviewers using the automation and manual assignment as before.
