 The success of the IEEE VIS 2020 papers program relies on a knowledgeable, experienced, and ethical community of reviewers. IEEE VIS 2020 employs a two-phase, [(author-optional) double-blind review](paper-submission-guidelines#important-submission-requirements) process that follows the review process for IEEE TVCG, the journal in which most IEEE VIS full papers are published. All papers are reviewed by at least 4 reviewers, at least 2 of which are IPC members and at least 2 of which are external members of the community. All reviewers are bound to the [ethics guidelines of the IEEE VGTC](http://vgtc.org/about-us/conferences/ethics-guidelines).
 
 This page provides detailed instructions for both IPC reviewers and external reviewers.

 8. For bidding, you will see four options for each submission: want, willing, reluctant, and conflict. The conflicted papers should be pre-selected as conflicts, based on steps 4-5 above. Please select “want” for papers that match your areas of expertise; typically, we expect that you mark 10 to 20 papers as “want”. *If you do not click an option, the system will record your preference as “willing”.* Please select “reluctant” for any papers that you feel are far from your expertise. You may find it easiest to first sort the list by the ‘score’ column, which estimates the match between your expertise and the paper keywords. Click the appropriate radio button beside each submission.  The radio button will flash green to indicate that your bid has been recorded.  There is no submit button on this page.  Submissions that have authors with whom you have declared a conflict will show "author conflict" in place of the radio buttons.
