Setting up a peer review system for abstract submissions can be critical to managing a conference or academic event. Dryfta is a platform that helps organizers manage various aspects of their event, including abstract submission and peer review.

Setting up a Peer Review System

Participants often submit abstracts, research summaries, or presentations when organizing an academic conference or event. Before these abstracts are accepted and scheduled for presentation, they usually undergo a quality check. This quality check is known as “peer review.”

Peer Review: During peer review process, the submitted abstracts are reviewed by experts (peers) in the respective field to ensure that the content is of high quality, original, and relevant to the conference topic. Reviewers evaluate the abstracts based on various criteria, such as relevance to the topic, originality, clarity, and validity of the methodology and results.
