CSC/ECE 517 Fall 2017/E17A5 Allow users to create an account and submit work to an "assignment" (e.g., for conference reviewing)
Introduction
Purpose
Expertiza should provide facility for getting paper reviewed for conference or journal. Anyone should be able to leverage this facility, even if he/she is not a user of Expertiza. The user who want to get his/her paper reviewed, could add co-authors.
Problem Definition
Currently, in peer-assessment system, the instructor creates accounts for the whole class. Students then submit their work individually or in teams in the relating assignment sections. Reviewers are assigned typically by the system, or by the instructor.
What if a person wants to get his/her work reviewed before presenting it in a conference or submitting it to a journal? This project implements a solution to that, by building a conference & journal reviewing facility in the Expertiza.
Requirements
1. Any non-Expertiza user sign up, for submitting his/her work 2. Document upload privileges for that user. 3. Adding co-authors to a paper being submitted for reviewing. 4. View for scores/reviews submitted by reviewers.
