The Annual Proceedings editor/publisher assigns content- qualified reviewers to each paper from the ASC Reviewer Board membership. Upon receipt, the paper is posted below. Each group of reviewers (3) and the respected author(s) are given a select user name and password for their anonymity and private access to the paper. Only these individuals (and the editor/publisher) will be able to access the paper in question. Discussion Between Author and ReviewersThe reviewer is encouraged to complete the "Reviewer Comments" section for each paper review. Please use a professional approach in making your comments; the purpose of the paper review is to supply constructive feedback to the author(s) and to improve the overall quality of the paper. Authors and reviewers remain anonymous in this process. Notification and Acceptance/Denial Authors are notified immediately of the Proceedings receipt of their paper. It is expected that the manuscripts will be reviewed as quickly as possible. This review process generally takes four weeks. Once the paper has been reviewed, the author(s) is expected to submit a revised paper that includes either the suggested changes or a rebuttal in defense of questioned content. The final paper will be reviewed by the same panel as the first panel. Verification of acceptance or denial will be forwarded at the completion of the review process.
