Frequently Asked Questions - FAQs

I) User Accounts

Q. I have an EasyChair account but cannot access my data for a conference (or cannot access my paper submitted to a conference)

A. What happens is the following. You account is associated with one or more email addresses. When another person (e.g., a programme chair or your co-author) enters your data in EasyChair she or he may specify as your email address an address example@email.com not associated with your account. If this happens, EasyChair does not understand that example@email.com is also one of your email addresses and creates a new user for that address. 

To solve the problem you can do any of the following:

1. Add example@email.com as your alternative email address (recommended);

2. Ask the chair or the co-author to update your email address.

The second solution is not recommended since the same problem may happen again. A similar problem happens when you have several accounts. In this case if you log in using one of the accounts, you will not see data from another account. You can merge the two accounts into a single one.

(II) Submission of Manuscripts via EasyChair as an Author

(III) Submission of Reviews via EasyChair as a Reviewer

We are using a web-based platform called EasyChair. Authors have uploaded their papers to this platform. You will also submit your review through EasyChair. If you not used EasyChair before, you will need to set up an account with EasyChair. Please follow the EasyChair submission link at the top.

IV) Review Requests

Q. I received a request to review a paper for a conference but cannot find this paper when I log in to this conference.

A. There are two possible causes for this problem. First, you should check if the email address to which the invitation was sent is an email address registered with your account. Second, each review request expires after some time. It can also be deleted by the program committee member who sent you this request.

If you successfully logged in to your conference but the role displayed is different from subreviewer, you should follow the menu tabs NCMAC2018 --> Change role. It will show you all the roles you have for this conference. If subreviewer is not among these roles, then the review request is either expired or deleted.

If you could log in as a subreviewer, you will find all currently active review requests under the menu tab "Review requests". If the request is there, then you are done. If not, then the review request is either expired or deleted.

If you find out that the request is expired or deleted but you are going to write a review, you should contact the program committee member who sent you the review request. He or she can restore the request.
