Quality and efficiency in reviewing is essential to the success of ACM Transactions on the Internet of Things (TIOT). To publish papers in a timely fashion we ask you to respond to all requests to assign reviewers and make recommendations as quickly as possible. Our standard invitation letter to reviewers asks them to return their reviews within six (6) weeks.
An AE is responsible for finding at least three (3) appropriate reviewers with the necessary knowledge and experience for a manuscript, and for supervising the review process until a decision is reached. Reviewers should not only be expert on the topic, but also have the appropriate seniority to assess the paper: notably, AEs should refrain from inviting Ph.D. students or junior postdocs as reviewers.
Choose Reject and Resubmit when the content is not ready for publication, but the basic ideas are of interest and, after an intense reworking, the paper could meet publication standards.
