Concerned about your submission?



The Diana Initiative wants to help everyone succeed. With that in mind we invite those who are worried about their submission to request help from a CFP mentor using our Request for TDI CFP Mentoring  form.



 



Review Process



Each submitted talk will be double-blind reviewed (the reviewers do not see the author names and the authors do not see their reviewer names) by a committee of dedicated reviewers.



A final group of core conference staff will make a final judgment on each talk based on the comments provided by the double-blind review panel. Reviewers score talks based on a number of criteria included, but not limited to:




  • Detail of submission

  • Novelty of the talk

  • Whether the talk has been given previously

  • Whether the talk has been recorded previously



The Diana Initiative believes in feedback and education as part of the CFP process. So submitters are encouraged to request their feedback at the end of the review process.



Thank you,





CFP Staff
