Peer Review Process
Each division will convene its own panel of peer reviewers. This
panel recommends which proposals should be accepted for the convention
program. They review proposals using the following rating scale
and criteria:
- Clarity of the proposal and quality of writing.
- Quality of proposed session’s content, organization, and format.
- Relevance, timeliness, and general interest level of the topic.
- Match to the convention theme(s) and other demands of the program.
- Suitability for division/affiliate or organization mission and membership.
- Length and session type including appropriateness for needs of the convention program.
To prepare an excellent proposal, be sure to use concise language.
Identify your target audience – those attendees who will find
your presentation relevant and timely. Pay attention to the way
you format your proposal on the electronic page. Use paragraph
breaks, capital and lower case letters, standard fonts, and correct
punctuation and mechanics. Be accurate. Proofread your narrative
for correct spelling and eliminate typographical errors. Poorly
presented proposals often do not find their way into the convention
program, regardless of the worth of the content.
In order to involve all members in SICET development and build members’ ownership,

serving SICET can apply to participate. Applicants’ qualifications will be reviewed by the
Board. Conference Chair and the Board will lead and facilitate the review process. |
