Uriel Feige answers some frequently asked questions to STOC submitters, but they apply almost verbatim to any theory conference.
Q: Who wrote the reviews?
A: Individual PC members and external reviewers. The reviews do NOT represent the collective opinion of the program committee, and need not include the reasons for accepting or rejecting the given submission.Q: What other information was available to the program committee in making accept/reject decisions?
A: The submitted papers themselves. Other written information includes numerical scores and confidence levels (at least three per paper), and comments to the PC only. In addition, there were oral discussions during the PC meetings.Q: Some of the reviews forwarded to me say wrong things about the paper.
A: We know and ignored these reviews.Q: All of the reviews forwarded to me are by reviewers who did not understand the paper.
A: Try to write your paper more clearly. Alternatively, it may be the case that STOC attendees (as reflected by the composition of the STOC committee) are not the right audience for your paper.Q: All reviewers liked my paper. How come it was not accepted?
A: Given many good papers, some difficult choices had to be made.Q: No reviewer liked my paper. How come it was accepted?
A: Probably some committee members are asking the same question. But note again that the reviews forwarded to the authors do not reflect the full discussion. Several committee members must have liked the paper.Q: I think that the program committee made a wrong decision in my case. How can I get more information about the reasons for this decision?
A: The only information released to the authors is the information that you already received: the accept/reject decision and those reviews of reviewers who explicitly allowed the review to be forwarded to the authors. Any additional information is confidential.Q: What is the procedure for appealing?
A: There is no such procedure. The decisions of the program committee about rejected papers are final. The decisions about accepted papers are also final, unless subsequently a major error is discovered in the paper, in which case the authors are expected to withdraw their paper.
