Calling all ILA members!

Can you share a few hours of your time and talent to serve as a peer reviewer for this year’s Global Conference, Leading Together?

ILA’s conference is organized across different streams, and ILA and the Global Conference Program Team are seeking ILA members with expertise and experience to participate as stream reviewers in a double-blind review.

Peer reviewers are invaluable in ensuring the program delivers the highest quality content that engages and inspires attendees from across the globe and contributes towards advancing the study and practice of leadership for a just and thriving future. Your contribution matters!

Ready to volunteer? Log in here and select up to five streams that you feel qualified to review. If you are selected to be a peer reviewer, ILA will assign you to ONE stream based on your selections and send you detailed review instructions.

ILA is refining the review process to ensure a thorough and equitable evaluation of proposals. If you are selected as a stream reviewer, you will be assigned or granted access to a set of proposals within your stream during the review period of 17-28 March. The specific selection or assignment process may vary depending on stream needs.
 
Reviewers are expected to evaluate a minimum number of proposals, typically ranging from 20-25, though this may vary by stream. Those reviewing full papers (primarily in the Leadership Scholarship stream) may be assigned a lower number due to the depth of review required.

Peer Review Evaluation Rubric

We’ve streamlined the review process to make it easier for reviewers to quickly record their assessments. The evaluation rubric is as follows:

On a scale of 1- 5, with 1 being the lowest and 5 being the highest, rate the proposal on the following:

Innovation: Rate the proposal’s level of originality.

Quality: Rate the proposal’s coherence and clarity of design/structure/thought.

Rigor: Rate the proposal’s use of evidence from experience and/or research.

Relevance: Rate the topic’s importance to the field of leadership today.

Impact: Rate the potential of the proposal to stimulate future scholarship/ practice/ conversation.

Internal Comment Box:  Reviewers will also be asked to fill out an internal comment field to record their recommendation for the proposal and why they rated it the way they did. These comments will not be shared with the proposal submitter.

Ready to Volunteer?

  1. Learn more about each stream and make your list of 2-5 top streams for which you are qualified to review.

  3. You will receive an email by 17 March regarding the status of your application. If accepted as a peer reviewer, you will also receive detailed reviewer instructions at that time.
