Call for Peer Reviewers
The Call for Reviewers has closed. Thank you to all who volunteered! Reviewers have been selected and were notified of their review assignments on 14 January. Reviewer instructions can be found here. Reviews are due on 30 January.
The ILA and the 2022 Women and Leadership Conference Program Team seek proposal reviewers from a wide range of leadership backgrounds. Peer reviewers are invaluable in providing feedback on proposals that will inform the final selection of content for the conference.
Selected reviewers will:
- Read and review a minimum of 10 abstracts for the stream in which they have volunteered.
- Rate each proposal according to a set of evaluation criteria.
- Provide comments to both the submitter and the program team for each proposal to support their decision.
- Recommend accepting or rejecting each proposal.
- Have 16 days to complete this process using ILA’s online proposal management platform (All Academic).

Frequently Asked Questions
The review period is from 14 January to 30 January 2022. Selected reviewers will receive communications on 14 January with detailed instructions about how to review proposals in All Academic.
For the stream you volunteer for, you must be willing to read at least 10 proposals. Each proposal (except for Symposium) is comprised of a 100-word short description and a 500-1,000-word abstract. Symposium proposals will have 3-4 additional short descriptions and abstracts for each of the presentations to be given within the proposed symposium.
If selected, you will receive instructions that will guide you into the All Academic system to begin the volunteer work when the review period opens on 14 January. After reading all the assigned proposals, you will provide ratings based on seven evaluation criteria, as well as constructive comments, feedback, suggestions to the submitter, and reasons supporting your decision to the program team for each proposal. Finally, you will indicate whether you think each proposal should be accepted or rejected.
No, conference reviewers do not need to be members of ILA; however, the reviewer pool is selected first from ILA member volunteers. If more reviewers are needed, non-members will be considered. If you are not yet an ILA member, we invite you to consider joining.
