tl;dr: The new Learning on Graphs Conference (LoG) is looking for more reviewers! We have a special emphasis on review quality via high monetary rewards, a more focused conference topic, and low reviewer load (max 3 papers). But for this we need your help!

LoG will take place virtually from 9 - 12 December 2022 and covers papers broadly related to graphs and geometry, as described in our Call for Papers: https://logconference.org/. Here are a few (tentative) details of the reviewing process:

Reviewer Rewards:
Area chairs rate the quality of each review in terms of “constructivism.” The 20 highest-rated reviewers will receive an expected reward of 1500$ funded by our generous sponsors. The exact number of reviewers that receive an award and the award amount is subject to change and might increase if the sponsor revenue is greater than expected. The top reviewer (who is willing to do so) will be invited to talk about reviewing at the conference.

Review Process:
Submissions will be double-blind, we will use OpenReview to host papers and allow for public discussions; comments that are posted by reviewers will remain anonymous.

Tentative timeline:
- Sep 9th: Abstract submission ~3 months before the conference.
- Sep 9th - 16th: reviewers bid for papers until paper submission deadline.
- Sep 16th: Paper submission deadline.
- Sep 16th - 17th: Paper-reviewer matching based on bids using the Toronto system.
- Sep 17th - Oct 20th: Main review period.
- Oct 20th - Nov 3rd: 2 weeks author and reviewer discussion, and paper revision period on OpenReview.
- Nov 3rd - 10th: 1 week reviewer and area chair discussion.
- Nov 10th - 24th: Easy decisions get accepted/rejected by area chairs. Unclear decisions and ethics concerns get escalated to Program Chairs/Senior Area Chairs.
- Nov 24th: Final decisions released.
- Nov 30th: Camera ready deadline.
- Dec 9th: Conference starts.
