Editorial Process

The Editorial Process for submissions mimics the standards set up by the ACM guidelines.  The review process is double-blind, involving student reviewers. Each submission will be reviewed by 2-3 student reviewers, assigned by the associate editor (AE) based on fields of experience. The submissions are selected based on the papers’ relevance to the edition’s theme and potential to stimulate discussions. All recommendations of accepted/ rejected submissions will be confirmed by AE and the Faculty Advisory Board. All acceptances are conditional on the understanding that:

  1. At least one author is an undergraduate student at the time of submission, and
  2. The authors will be receptive to the reviewers’ comments.

All accepted papers will be archived in a public subdomain under cs.ashoka.edu.in  unless the authors declare any objection to the same. Subject to approval, all accepted authors will be invited to a Student Symposium organised  by the Department of CS, Ashoka University.

For more information, contact crossthink@ashoka.edu.in.
