Call for Research Evaluators

The OLLD call for papers is published – now it’s time to apply as an evaluator!

As in previous years, we’re inviting ENoLL effective members & innovation partners to join the Evaluation Committee in assessing and selecting the papers that will shape the agenda of the conference this year.

What will be your workload?

As an evaluator, you will be responsible for reading between 5 to 7 papers and reviewing them and you will count with a period of three weeks to deliver your work.

The 2019 ENoLL Call for Papers makes use of a double-blind peer review, which means that both the reviewer and author identities are concealed from the reviewers, and vice versa, throughout the review process. This is very much appreciated by the researchers as it allows full anonymity. The selected best papers will be published on a Special Issue Journal.

When do you need to complete the work?

The timeline for assessment is outlined below:

Task	Date

Start of Evaluation Period	15 May (extended)
Deadline to submit your assessments	15 June (extended)
Research Session at OpenLivingLab Days	3-5 September 2019
