COI and reviews webpages

A short post about two (hopefully) useful webpages on my site.

List of conflicts of interest

I maintain a list of my conflicts of interest here. It follows the standard COI definition used by conferences: PhD advisor/student, close or current collaborators, and co-authors of papers published within the last two years.

This list is particularly useful to me when submitting papers or serving on a program committee, as I can simply copy-paste it to disclose my COIs.

I hope it is also helpful to others. For example, if you’re considering asking me to review a paper but suspect a conflict of interest, you can easily verify this by checking the webpage (instead of manually searching DBLP, for instance)

Reviews

I also maintain the list of all the reviews I have done, as a set of conference and journal names, sorted by year. You can view it here.

This is satisfying for me, since it leaves a record of the work done. I hope it’s also useful to others when assessing whether I’m a suitable candidate to review specific papers.

I started this because I was wondering what was the standard review load for researchers. I still don’t know the answer, but at least others can see how much I contribute. Also since reviewing is important work, often undervalued, I believe it’s important to acknowledge this work somewhere.
