FSEM 2026 relies on volunteer reviewers to deliver a fair, constructive peer-review process for submitted short papers (2–4 pages). If you are willing to review, we would be pleased to add you to the reviewer pool.

Looking to submit your work to FSEM 2026? Find the submission details here.

Why review?

• Support the Early Career Researcher community and help strengthen submitted work.

• Gain formal evidence of reviewing activity.

• Reviewer certificate: reviewers who complete their assigned reviews by the deadline will receive an official certificate confirming their contribution.

What we ask reviewers to do

For each assigned paper, reviewers provide:

• An overall recommendation (accept / revisions / reject).
• Brief scores against a small set of criteria (see below).
• Constructive written feedback that helps authors improve clarity, rigour, and presentation.

Expected review criteria

• Relevance to FSEM 2026 and its interdisciplinary audience

• Technical quality and methodological soundness

• Clarity of writing, figures, and structure

• Contribution/insight (including novelty where appropriate

Reviewer conduct, confidentiality, and conflicts of interest

To protect authors and reviewers, we ask that you:

• Treat all submissions and reviews as confidential. Do not share, circulate, or use unpublished content.
• Declare and avoid conflicts of interest (COIs). A COI includes, for example: current/recent collaboration, same supervisory chain, close personal relationship, or any situation where impartiality could reasonably be questioned.
• Provide feedback that is professional and evidence-based. Critique the work, not the author.
• Avoid coercive or unnecessary citation requests (especially self-citation) unless clearly justified.

If you identify a conflict after assignment, you can decline the paper and we will reassign it.

Recognition and certificate

Reviewers who complete all assigned reviews on time will receive:

• A Reviewer Certificate (named, dated, and signed by the conference organisers), indicating your contribution.
• Optional acknowledgement on the conference website and proceedings book (opt-in).

Who can volunteer?

We welcome reviewers from University of ÌÇÐÄTV, including:

• Postdoctoral researchers, research fellows, and academic staff
• Final-year doctoral researchers with relevant expertise
• Industry and research-institute professionals
