Emergency Reviewers and Action Editors

· October 20, 2021

We are recruiting volunteer emergency reviewers and emergency action editors. To volunteer, fill out (Update: These forms are no longer in use. Please contact the editors to volunteer):

Responsibilities:

  • As an emergency action editor, you will step in at the request of the editors in chief when the action editor assigned to paper is unable to or does not complete their responsibility for a paper. You will chase down reviewers (or find emergency reviewers) and complete a meta review so that authors get their reviews in a timely fashion.
  • As an emergency reviewer, you will step in at the request of an action editor when the reviewer assigned to paper is unable to or does not complete their responsibility for a paper. You will read a paper and provide a review, probably within a week.

Availability needed: You should be available to swing into action between the 10th and 20th of a month. As with other ARR roles, you can indicate your unavailability for any given month(s).

Level of experience: You should have all the experience of a regular action editor (publishing regularly in *ACL venues and a demonstrated track record of reviewing for *ACL venues), as well as the ability to focus under time pressure.

In recognition of this extra level of service, ACL Rolling Review will be happy to provide you with a letter of recognition that you can show your employer, as well as displaying your name on our website and acknowledging you at conferences.
