In early April you will be assigned proposals to review. You will receive separate email notifications for each proposal, asking you to accept or decline the review and giving a URL to the submission. If you have not received any separate confirmations from the submission system, please email enquiries@alt.ac.uk.

Please respond to each allocation, either accepting or declining to undertake the review, as soon as possible, so that we can assign the proposal to someone else if needed. You will then have until 5.00 BST on Friday 28 April to submit your feedback and record your decision. Please complete all reviews, recording your comments and decisions, by this time.

Each proposal should take on average 20 minutes to review, depending on the length and degree of comments required.
