Fast Track Review
A Fast Track decision allows a Session, Topic, Track or Technical Chair (and all Co-Chairs) to directly accept, reject or request a revision of a paper without assigning it to a Reviewer. Fast Track is also used for papers, which do not require a review (e.g., Short/Forum papers). You will be bale to access the paper, make additional recommendations and provide comments to the author regarding his/her draft paper submittal.
The instructions for Fast Track Review are below.
Choose your track, topic and/or session.
Click on a paper number and go to the "Reviewers" tab in the new window. Fast Track can be performed on papers that have a status of "Paper Under Review" or "Draft Paper Submitted."
If Reviewers have already been assigned to a paper, please un-assign these Reviewers by clicking on the "Un-Assign" link next to the Reviewer's name.
When all Reviewer's have been un-assigned, click the "Fast Track" link in the bottom right corner of the window.
Make your recommendations on the next scree (if any), include comments as needed, and accept, reject or request a revision of the paper.
NOTE: If multiple reviewers are assigned to a paper and all reviews are not completed, please un-assign those reviewers who did not submit a review. Once un-assigned, you can proceed to accept, reject, or request a revision of the paper based on the reviews submitted (via standard paper acceptance).
