FSD CALL FOR REVIEWERS

Reviewers play an essential role in our selection process. We know you are busy with other important research/teaching/professional responsibilities, but ask that you find some time to review submissions for FSD. In the past, as a reviewer for FSD and other divisions, I found the wide variety of papers and panels to be so intriguing. It was a terrific feeling getting an advance look at what may show up on the program later. We need as many of you to sign up as possible so that we can lessen any burden that would befall a smaller pool of reviewers.

Aren’t you excited already!!! I know I am.

Signing up to be a Reviewer is not tough at all.

We have an electronic sign up system set up inside the ICA website--Once you are inside the site, the options will allow you to do a great many things including Updating membership to FSD and indicating that you want to be a REVIEWER for FSD.

2. Sign in using your usual ICA log in details

3. In the Main Menu, click on "Volunteer to be a Reviewer"

4. Complete the form and submit it by clicking "Apply"

5. Be sure to check the appropriate DIVISION box on the next screen and click on "Accept Continue"

6. Confirm on the following screen

We will assign submission for review in early November and you will be able to access these submissions soon afterwards. You will be able to access the submissions online and evaluate them using a pre-established instrument for that purpose.

When you fill out the reviewer form, indicate your Areas of Expertise. This helps in assigning you research that is most interesting to you and that you feel comfortable evaluating. There is not always a perfect match, but we will certainly try.

Very Sincerely Looking Forward to All You Terrific People
