Click **View**![](https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/9xXlSfKjrs887t06OjDijpnoaZdgkoqGGXMmK0-ACaEIwy1krby4CM5irBKHCObkGEQG8RbYoc0KZoLwGIk4jJ0eZYqF55Ib2b1_J5KVKnETj3gL_LLHxyzSkMZ_WqWajC9RruQpigdq5jpxeg) For each event, you will see how many reviews you have been assigned, how many have been completed, and a button that you need to **click to start reviewing**. ![](https://help.oxfordabstracts.com/hubfs/Screenshot%202022-06-30%20at%2017-07-13-png.png) You will then be directed to the **Review screen.** In the left-hand menu, you will see a list of the reviews that you have been assigned, represented by their symposium ID (1,2,3,4 etc).  You can click the blue arrow button to expand the menu to see more details or minimise it so only the symposium ID number appears. ![](https://help.oxfordabstracts.com/hubfs/Screenshot%202022-06-30%20at%2017-07-57-png.png) In the main part of the screen, you can see an orange button - **Start reviewing.** Click on either the numbers in the left-hand menu or the orange button to begin reviewing. ![](https://help.oxfordabstracts.com/hubfs/Screenshot%202022-06-30%20at%2017-08-24-png.png) Next, you will be taken to the following screen, where you can choose which symposium to review by clicking the numbered section on the left-hand column. ![](https://help.oxfordabstracts.com/hubfs/Screenshot%202022-06-30%20at%2017-10-19-png.png) For quickness, you can find the symposium you are looking for by clicking the filter tab on the left-hand side and filling in the boxes. ![](https://help.oxfordabstracts.com/hubfs/Screenshot%202022-06-30%20at%2017-10-52-png.png) When you have chosen the selected symposium you wish to review, the information will appear to the right of the left-hand column.  Please note that admins will be able to choose what you can view, but for this example, you can see the following: - Title - Chair - Discussant - Description - Category ![](https://help.oxfordabstracts.com/hubfs/Screenshot%202022-06-30%20at%2017-11-39-png.png) As you scroll down you will be able to view the abstract submission that corresponds to the symposium submission. ![](https://help.oxfordabstracts.com/hubfs/Screenshot%202022-06-30%20at%2017-14-26-png.png) To the right of this information, admins will choose the questions for you to proceed to review a symposium.  For this example, you will be able to choose a **Grade** for the symposium, **select if you have a conflict of interest, and add your comments.** **![](https://help.oxfordabstracts.com/hubfs/Screenshot%202022-06-30%20at%2017-15-14-png.png)** NB - there is no **Save** button as all changes are saved automatically. Mandatory review questions are marked with an asterisk. If you see **Incomplete** to the top right of the screen, this means the review section is incomplete.  Once all questions have been answered you will see this change to **Complete** and a **green box** will appear around your review. ![](https://help.oxfordabstracts.com/hubfs/Screenshot%202022-06-30%20at%2017-16-04-png.png) When you have completed a review, click the **Next Symposium** button at the bottom right of the screen (or **Previous Symposium**, if required). If you have completed reviewing all your assigned Symposia then this button will say **Review Summary** instead. ![](https://help.oxfordabstracts.com/hubfs/Screenshot%202022-06-30%20at%2017-16-37-png.png) You will be taken to the following screen where you can view which reviews you have completed.  To do this you navigate to the left-hand column where you will see a green tick next to the number of the symposium you have reviewed. ![](https://help.oxfordabstracts.com/hubfs/Screenshot%202022-06-30%20at%2017-17-43-png.png) Click the **Reviewer Home page** found at the bottom right corner of the page to be taken back to your **Symposia Reviewer Dashboard.** You may wish to download the symposiums you’re reviewing.  You can do this by clicking on the **Download** tab at the left-hand side. You can choose to download in either **PDF** or **HTML** format. ![](https://help.oxfordabstracts.com/hubfs/Screenshot%202022-06-30%20at%2017-18-14-png.png) These will be downloaded to your desktop.  If you require further assistance please get in touch with our help desk via our [Contact Form.](https://oxfordabstracts.com/resources/contact-support/) -
