Call for Peer-Reviewers!

We recently posted the call for proposals for the VLACRL Conference-Within-A-Conference at the VLA Annual Conference, and we need your help! Our next step is to conduct a peer-review of the submissions and we are seeking peer-reviewers.

Reviewers will be provided with a rubric with guidelines to evaluate session and poster proposals. The number of proposals each reviewer will be assigned will be determined after the deadline for proposals, however, we expect to have no more than 6 per reviewer. The timeline will be short. You will have about a week to complete your reviews.

All peer reviewers must be VLA members. You can renew your membership here. If you are planning to submit a proposal, you may still serve as a peer-reviewer. We will not assign you to review your own submission :-)

Timeline:

Proposals Due - March 1

Proposals Sent to Peer-Reviewers - March 12

Peer-Review Due - March 19

Notifications - March 26

If you would like to volunteer to peer-review, please email [email protected]. Thank you!
