VL 'XX Reviewer Form
Original research papers should make clear what new contribution
the work makes to visual languages, and how the work differs from
related works. If this research is an incremental improvement over
similar, previously-published research by the same authors, the paper
should be explicit about what it contributes beyond the earlier
publications. Research papers are expected to be the largest category
of papers that will be accepted at VL'XX.

anyone else, 8=some interest to most attendees and strong interest to
at least 20% of attendees, 10=general interest to all attendees).

- Do you want to nominate this paper for Best Paper Award?
(Criteria for the Best Paper Award include originality, significance,
clarity of the explanation, and overall value to other VL conference
attendees. Only papers in the Research category are eligible for Best
Paper Award.)
- Detailed comments for the author(s)
This is a new category this year. Original case study/application
papers should describe the use of one or more VLs in the real world.
Such papers are especially encouraged if they report on ways to use
VLs or applications of VLs that have not been reported before. These
papers should identify how they provide new insights into the
applicability, usefulness, or ways to use VLs.

to add context and clarity to how this paper fits into the field of
VL research, both for our conference's attendees and for later
readers).

- Detailed comments for the author(s)
Poster papers are most suitable for interactive discussion, and an
interactive session will be set aside during the conference for this
purpose. Work in early stages is especially encouraged, but
unpublished work in any stage of development that would benefit from
an interactive presentation is invited. The purpose of poster papers
is to encourage lively interactions among VL conference attendees
about the most recent developments in VL-related areas.
