Welcome to the MyReview web-based
conference management system!
This is a demo version
that will help you to evaluate (and, hopefully, appreciate)
the features of MyReview.
Customization
MyReview is a paper review system written with PHP and MySQL. It
proposes the traditional functionalities of such systems (see the main site for a
comparison), namely paper submission, reviewer assignment, discussion
on conflicting reviews, selection of papers, mails sent to all actors,
etc. One of its most salient features, though, is the ability to
change the look-and-feel of the HTML pages, as well as all the static,
textual information, independently from the PHP code. To do so, it
relies on the templates mechanism of PHP which separates
(almost) completely the PHP code from the HTML/images/JavaScript/Flash
presentation.
Just try it: choose a presentation,
which will be then applied to ALL the pages of the site.
Select a template with the form below, GO!, and see the result.
Convinced? Using this feature allows you to integrate smoothly the
functionalities of MyReview in your own site: give your own template,
and that's all. You can take a look at the
simple template if you wish.
Note the TITLE and BODY special elements. MyReview
replaces these elements with dynamic content at run-time, depending
on the context, content o the DB, user actions, etc. Templates
quite be arbitrarily complex, as long as they contain the two
elements at the appropriate location (look at the
complex template, and search
for TITLE and BODY!).
Try it!
You can play with all the
functionalities, taking alternatively the role
of the three main types of actors
- Authors
As an author, you can submit an abstract for a paper
that you intend to submit, unsing the
abstract submission interface. . The system will provide you with
an id and a password. You can then access
the paper submission interface
to upload the PDF file of your complete paper.
- Reviewers
As a reviewer, you can access the reviewing
interface, download your papers, submit and update your reviews.
You need a login and a password: use
myreview@lri.fr and the password
08b271 for this demo.
- Administrator
This is the most important role. Using the
administrator
interface You can configure the system,
create new reviewers, enter research topics
for your conference, ask reviewers to select their preferred topics,
assign manually or automatically
papers to reviewers, consult the marks of papers,
send mails to everybody, etc. The user
myreview@lri.fr (with password
08b271) is an administrator for this demo site.
You can enter an abstract, then a paper, then, in the administrator's
interface, create one or several reviewers, assign the papers, enter reviews,
look at the status of papers, etc. Please remember that ALL the
text can be changed without having to look at a single line of PHP code.
Get and install
Installing MyReview (on a system equipped with PHP and MySQL)
is fairly simple. You can read the README file.
Here is the archive with everything you need:
myreview.tar.gz
And here is the documentation (still in progress, sorry).
myreview.pdf
The system is tested under Linux and should work as well under
Windows. All the tools
(including MyReview) are open source. Please tell me if you
use the system.
