Subject: SAE Technical Paper Review: On-line Judgment Rating and Scoring
Dear Reviewer,
Thank you for volunteering to participate in reviewing SAE technical papers for [Event Name and Date]. Your evaluation of draft manuscripts will assist in determining if papers are of sufficient quality for SAE publications and possible awards.
I have forwarded draft manuscript(s) to you by [method] which I believe will be of great interest. Your identity is kept in confidence, so please be objective in your evaluation(s).
The scoring of papers can be accessed on-line at [specific meeting home page url] as "Technical Paper Review System" under "Registration & Resources." You will need to log on to the SAE website using the instructions below. Once you have logged in, you'll need a meeting-specific password to access the scoring page. That password is [specific meeting password]. This on-line system will guide you through rating and scoring the paper. I'll have password-protected access to the results of reviewer activity. These recommended ratings and scores will allow me to determine the suitability of each paper for publication.
Please be aware that if you select a rating of "Approved if modified," I will be circulating the revised manuscript to you for re-review and scoring. This is an important step in making sure your recommendations have been satisfactorily included.
Below, I have included the general log-in instructions for accessing the SAE website. Again, I thank you for time. If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact me or your SAE staff representative [name, phone, email].
Sincerely,
[session organizer]
