Full paper review guidelines

Long papers will go through a full, single-blind reviewing process via OpenReview, with two weeks for author rebuttal and discussion. The MIDL board and the local organizers encourage reviewers to unblind themselves to increase transparency. Therefore only unblinded reviewers are eligible for reviewer awards.

• Reviewers should always provide positive, constructive reviews and be as open as possible.
• The review should include a short summary, a list of pros and cons, and ideas regarding related and future work in case key developments are missing.
• Comments regarding lack of novelty need to be substantiated, e.g., by providing reference(s) to previous work.
• The reviewers are not required to look at the material in the Appendix/Supplementary Information beyond the 8 pages of the paper.
• Reviewers should engage in discussion with the authors during the rebuttal period.

Your duties during the reviewing period will be the following.

• You will be responsible for reviewing approximately 4-5 papers between 12/02/2024 and 28/02/2024.
• You will have the chance to bid for reviewing specific papers during the bidding stage that will take place between 01/02/2024 and 07/02/2024.
• Writing timely reviews of high quality that reflect the above-mentioned MIDL principles and are fair in judgment.
• Ranking the papers.
• Give constructive feedback and criticism that helps the authors to improve their work, which is beneficial for the community as a whole.
• Engage in discussion during the 14-day rebuttal phase between the other reviewers and authors (for full papers), particularly for papers where the decision is uncertain (borderline).

Please note that all deadlines are 23:59 UTC-12 (Anywhere on Earth).
