CCSC:SW Author and Referee information

Southwestern Region 2010 Conference

Reviewer Invitation

All faculty and professionals are welcome to review papers for CCSC:SW. If you signed up to review last year, the system will remember you, but we ask that you confirm your information so that we know you are still willing to perform this service.

To volunteer to be a reviewer, please register online at our Reviewer Signup page.
This form will obtain reviewer contact information and a list of topic areas that you wish to review. Once the form is completed reviewers will be contacted via email with reviewing assignments (3 papers maximum) after the paper submission deadline, December 21.
When papers are ready for review, you will be sent an email with the web address of your papers, and the electronic forms for your review results.
Reviewers who wish to examine a blank review form will find it at http://db.grinnell.edu/ccsc/ccsc-sw2010/Reviewers/selectReviewForm.asp. Authors may wish to peruse the form, as well, in order to see how papers are being scored.

Author Invitation

While acceptance of a paper will depend on the quality of the work as submitted, the author of an accepted paper will have a few weeks after acceptance to revise the submission slightly, especially in response to reviewers' comments.

To enable blind peer review, we require two forms of your paper: one anonymous, and another with standard attributions.

To submit a paper, please register online at www.cs.grinnell.edu/~ccsc/southwestern-2010/submission.shtml.
When you submit a paper electronically you also set a password so that you can later view and update author and paper information. You should feel free to submit your paper early, because you can update your submission until the deadline.
Please format your paper according to the instructions at http://faculty.ed.umuc.edu/~meinkej/ccsc/Manuscript_Formatting.pdf.
Convert your paper to .pdf format, and upload both the anonymous and attributed versions.

Accepted Papers

For papers accepted for publication we need the Microsoft Word .doc file, and a copyright release.

Due to the requirements of our physical publication system, the final version of the accepted paper must be submitted as a Microsoft .doc file, following the instructions at
http://faculty.ed.umuc.edu/~meinkej/ccsc/Manuscript_Formatting.pdf.
Email the final .doc file to the Publications Chair, Stephanie E. August, at stephanie.e.august@gmail.com.

The author copyright release form needs to be downloaded from
http://faculty.ed.umuc.edu/~meinkej/ccsc/CopyrightRelease2009.pdf,
printed, and signed. Please mail the completed copyright form to:
