Each reviewer will be assigned 6-8 papers to review for the Utah Winter Finance Conference. Please realize the number of topics is limited. Therefore, each reviewer will have papers outside their area of primary interest. Each paper will be reviewed by at least two individuals on our committee. Please note that last year more than 315 papers were submitted – a new high for the Utah WFC.

After you login, you will see a list of papers that you have been assigned. You can click on the title to read the document. After you have read the document you can click on the "Review" option next to the document and complete the review.

We request you do the following three tasks. After reading all the papers, please rank the papers from best to worst (1 through 5), Please rate the paper on a scale of 1 to 5 with the following interpretation:

RatingMeaning

1Excellent paper -- should be included in the program (use the criteria that you would enjoy
seeing the paper presented)
2Very good paper -- could be included in the program
3Average paper -- include if needed for topic area
4Fair paper -- not recommended for the program
5Definitely do not include on program!

In addition, please include a brief comment about the paper (perhaps a couple of sentences or a short paragraph) that will help us choose the best papers. In sum, please (1) rank the paper, (2) rate the papers using the scale above, and (3) write a brief comment about each paper and its potential contribution to our limited program of ten papers.

Please complete your ranking and ratings no later than November 15th. Thank you for your help. We are looking forward to another excellent WFC.
