POLICIES

Review Process: By submitting a paper to PSS2018, the authors agree to the review process and understand that papers are processed to match each manuscript to the best possible chairs and reviewers.

Confidentiality: The review process of PSS2018 is confidential. Reviewers are volunteers not part of the PSS2018 organisation and their efforts are greatly appreciated. The standard practice of keeping all information confidential during the review is part of the standard communication to all reviewers. Misuse of confidential information is a severe professional failure and  appropriate measures will be taken when brought to the attention of PSS2018 organizers. It should be noted, however, that the organisation of PSS2018 is not and cannot be held responsible for the consequences when reviewers break confidentiality.

Double blind review: PSS2018 reviewing is double blind, in that authors do not know the names of the area chair/reviewers of their papers, and the area chairs/reviewers cannot, beyond reasonable doubt, infer the names of the authors from the submission and the additional material. Avoid providing information that may identify the authors. Avoid providing links to websites that identify the authors. Violation of any of these guidelines may lead to rejection without review.

Note that we will be actively checking for plagiarism.
