Frequently Asked Questions

What are the duties of an IES reviewer?
The IEEE Industrial Electronics Conference is committed to provide a high level of scientific and technical quality in all the conferences and workshops that it organizes or co-sponsors. This can only be achieved by carefully reviewing each submitted paper by several independent researchers.
The people that volunteer for reviewing one or more papers for an IES conference will have to express their opinion about the scientific quality, novelty and soundness of one or more papers in their area of expertise.

How much is paid to an IES reviewer?
Reviewing one or more papers for an IES conference is an entirely volunteer work, and this is not paid, as the rest of volunteer work for IES or IEEE. Nevertheless, probably your work as a reviewer will be valued in academia.

How can I volunteer as an IES reviewer?
If you have received an email message asking you to become a reviewer, just login on this site with the address and password that were sent to you.
If you haven't received such a message, please contact with the organizing committee of the conference that you would like to volunteer for.

How many papers will be sent to me for review?
Conference organizers do know that volunteers have other tasks to do and that their time is very valuable, and thus Conference Organizers and Track Chairs will do their best to keep the number of papers to the minimum necessary.
