Abstracts and Submissions System Types and Codes

The following table describes the system types for the ABS subsystem. Prior to working with the ABS system, you must create codes (and in some cases, subcodes) for each of the non-fixed system types.

Remember that since Abstracts is mainly a Web-based system, for each of the codes and subcodes you create, you will need to check the “Available to Web” checkbox.

Description

ANSWER_TYPE

Y

This identifies the type of answer that can be provided as answers to the submitter (author) disclosure question, submission disclosure questions, and content (text block) questions.

 

The following values are delivered with base and cannot be modified or added to:

·       DATEPICKER

·       DROP_DOWN

·       HEADING

·       NUMERIC

·       TEXT_BOX

·       TEXT_EDITOR

·       YES_NO

 

Reviewer scoring questions only use the following answer types:

·       DROP_DOWN

·       TEXT_BOX

 

This code is selected for the ANSWER_TYPE_CODE fields in the following tables:

·       ABS_CALL_SUBMISSION_TYPE_AUTHOR_
DISCLOSURE_CONTROL

·       ABS_CALL_SUBMISSION_TYPE_DISCLOSURE_
QUESTION_CONTROL

·       ABS_CALL_SUBMISSION_TYPE_TEXT_BLOCK_
CONTROL

·       ABS_CALL_SUBMISSION_TYPE_SCORING_
CONTROL

ASSIGNMENT_STATUS

Y

This identifies the status of the reviewer's assignment to review a submission. When a reviewer is assigned to a submission, the initial ASSIGNMENT_STATUS is “INVITED”. The reviewer has the option to decline the invitation, in which case the status is updated to "DECLINED". When the reviewer accepts the invitation, the status is updated to “UNDER_REVIEW”. When the reviewer answers the scoring questions, the status is updated to "COMPLETED”.  

Reviewer submission-review assignment status is different than reviewer participation status (PARTICIPATION_STATUS). Submission-review assignment status identifies whether a reviewer will review a specific submission, whereas reviewer participation status controls whether the reviewer is available to review any submissions for a specific submission type in a call.    

Reviewer submission scores can only be entered by reviewers with a status of “UNDER_REVIEW”.

The following values are delivered with base and cannot be modified or added to:

·       INVITED

·       UNDER_REVIEW

·       COMPLETED

·       DECLINED

·       CANCELLED

·       WITHDRAWN

 

When the assignment status is set to “UNDER_REVIEW”, the “Number of Accepted Reviewers” in the submission record increases by one. When the assignment status is set to “COMPLETED”, the “Number of Completed Reviews” in the submission record increases by one.

 

This code is selected for the ASSIGNMENT_STATUS_CODE field in the ABS_SUBMISSION_REVIEWER table.

ASSIGNMENT_STATUS_REASON

N/A

This system code has not been implemented.

AUTHOR_DISCLOSURE_ANSWER

N

This identifies the answer code associated with the subcode values that can be selected as the answer to the submitter disclosure question.

If, during submission type setup, the answer type is defined as "DROP_DOWN" or "YES_NO", then the submitter disclosure answer code must be defined by selecting a code value for this code.

 

The following values are delivered with base:

·       YES_NO

 

For example, if the author disclosure question is "Select your highest level of education." you might define an author disclosure answer code as "HIGHEST_EDUCATION_LEVEL" with subcode values of "HIGH_SCHOOL", "BACHELORS", "MASTERS", and "DOCTORATE".

 

This code is selected for the AUTHOR_DISCLOSURE_ANSWER_CODE field and the DEFAULT_AUTHOR_DISCLOSURE_ANSWER_CODE field in the ABS_CALL_SUBMISSION_TYPE_AUTHOR_DISCLOSURE_CONTROL table. Subcode values for this code are selected for the AUTHOR_DISCLOSURE_ANSWER_SUBCODE field in the ABS_SUBMISSION_AUTHOR_DISCLOSURE table.

AUTHOR_ROLE

N

This code is not visible to the end user. This code is set based on the submitter's response to the question "Are you an [author] on this submission?" when first submitting a submission. (The word author in brackets is dependent on the setup by the administrator.)

 

If the submitter answers that they are an [author] on the submission, the system sets this code to AUTHOR. If the submitter answer that they are NOT an [author] on the submission, then the system sets this code to NON_AUTHOR-SUBMITTER.

 

This code is selected for the AUTHOR_ROLE_CODE field in the ABS_SUBMISSION_AUTHOR table.

BLOCK_TYPE

N/A

Currently, this code is not being used in the system.

CALL_TYPE

N

This code identifies the type of call for participation. For example, “MEETING”, “PUBLICATION”, etc. This field is used as a search parameter when searching for a call.

 

This code is selected for the CALL_TYPE_CODE in the ABS_CALL table.

CATEGORY

N

This optional code allows your organization to categorize submissions according to your needs. This could be coordinated with a meeting’s session tracks or topic areas.

 

Another use of this code is to function as an alternative submission type code. Some organizations accept all submissions under a single type. After the organization reviews the submission, they make a decision as to the best submission type for the submission. However, you cannot change submission types in Personify360. Therefore, this code can be used for this purpose.

 

An administrator can decide whether they want to use this code in the call submission type and whether submitters can enter a value for this code. If the organization is going to use this code as an alternate submission type, as stated above, they would not want the submitter setting this code. They would want an administrator to set it.

 

This code is selected for the CATEGORY_CODE field in the ABS_SUBMISSION table.

CONTRIBUTOR_DESIGNATION

N

This identifies how contributors (submitters) will be labeled during the submission process. For example, if your organization wants to use the ABS system for accepting volunteer application, the contributor would be an APPLICANT, not an AUTHOR.

 

The following values are delivered with base:

·       AUTHOR

·       CONTRIBUTOR

·       NOMINATOR

·       SUBMITTER

 

This code is selected for the CONTRIBUTOR_DESIGNATION_CODE field in the ABS_CALL_SUBMISSION_TYPE table.

DISCLOSURE_ANSWER

N

This identifies the answer code associated with the subcode values that can be selected as the answer to the submission disclosure question.

 

If, during submission type setup, the answer type is defined as "DROP_DOWN" or "YES_NO", then the disclosure answer code must be defined by selecting a code value for this code.

 

The following values are delivered with base:

·       YES_NO

·       ACCEPTDECLINE

 

The submitter will select the answer to "DROP_DOWN" disclosure question from subcodes defined for this code.

 

This code is selected for the DISCLOSURE_ANSWER_CODE field and the DEFAULT_SUBMISSION_DISCLOSURE_ANSWER_CODE field in the ABS_CALL_SUBMISSION_TYPE_DISCLOSURE_QUESTION_CONTROL table.

 

Subcode values for this code are selected for the DISCLOSURE_ANSWER_SUBCODE field in the ABS_SUBMISSION_DISCLOSURE table and the REJECTION_DISCLOSURE_ANSWER_SUBCODE field in the ABS_CALL_SUBMISSION_TYPE_DISCLOSURE_QUESTION_CONTROL table.

EXPERTISE

N

This identifies the areas of experience for reviewers. Reviewers are matched to submissions by comparing the submission topic codes to the reviewer’s areas of expertise. For example, Dentistry, Pediatrics, Orthopedics, etc.

 

Expertise subcodes can also be defined for expertise codes.

 

The following values are delivered with base:

·       ENGINEERING

·       MEDICINE

·       PSYCHOLOGY

 

This code is selected for the EXPERTISE_CODE field in the ABS_REVIEWER_EXPERTISE table. Subcode values are selected for the EXPERTISE_SUBCODE field in ABS_REVIEWER_EXPERTISE table.

EXPERTISE_LEVEL

N

This identifies the expertise level of a reviewer's area of expertise. It is also used in defining the audience level of expertise.

 

Option 1 is used by the ABS500 batch process to assign reviewers to review abstracts by select the individuals with the highest level of expertise. Valid values are 1 to 3 with 3 being the highest. For example, Industry Expert may be given a numeric value of 3, Knowledgeable may be given a numeric value of 2, and Some Knowledge may be given a numeric value of 1. The ABS500 batch process matches reviewers to submissions by selecting reviewers with the highest level of expertise in the areas of expertise that match the submission topics. It is important that the highest level of expertise be given the highest numeric value.

 

The following values are delivered with base:

·       INDUSTRY_EXPERT

·       KNOWLEDGEABLE

This code is not visible to the end user. It is contained in the ABS_REVIEW_PROCESS_BASE table. This table contains review process event records that are copied to call submission types based on setups defined for the call submission type. It is these review process event records that automate the setting of the external and internal status codes on submissions.

 

This code identifies whether the review process event is connected with a finalist stage. The finalist stage is an optional step in the review process before final accept/reject decisions are made about the abstracts.

 

When review process records are created for a submission type within a call, if the organization has a finalist stage as part of the steps in their review process, all review-process events associated to the finalist stage are copied to the submission type review process table.

 

The following values are delivered with base:

·       Y

·       N

·       NOT_APPLICABLE

 

This code is set for the FINALIST_STAGE_CODE field in the ABS_REVIEW_PROCESS_BASE table.

N/A

This code has not been implemented.

LEAD_RVWR_RECOMMENDATION

N/A

This code has not been implemented.

PARTICIPATION_REASON

N/A

This code has not been implemented.

PARTICIPATION_STATUS

Y

This code identifies whether a reviewer's participation status. This code is not visible to the end user.

Reviewer participation status is different than the reviewer submission-review assignment status (ASSIGNMENT_STATUS). Reviewer participation status controls whether the reviewer is available to review any submissions for a specific submission type in a call, whereas submission-review assignment status identifies whether a reviewer will review a specific submission.    

The following codes are delivered with base Personify360 and cannot be changed:

·       Active

·       Declined (new as of Personify360 7.5.0)

·       Withdrew (new as of Personify360 7.5.0)

 

This code is set for the PARTICIPATION_STATUS_CODE field in the ABS_CALL_SUBMISSION_TYPE_REVIEWER table.

PRELIMINARY_DECISION

N/A

This code has not been implemented.

PRODUCT_TYPE

Y

If your call is going to be linked to a meeting, the "M" and "S" meeting product type codes must have the Web Enabled checkbox selected. This code is defined for the MTG subsystem.

 

If your call is going to be linked to a subscription product, the "I" subscription product type code must have the Web Enabled checkbox selected. This code is defined for the SUB subsystem.

REJECTION_ANSWER

N

Submission disclosure questions can be defined so that a particular answer will result in the submission not being acceptable to the organization. If a submission is submitted with a reject answer to a submission disclosure question, the submission status will be set to "DECLINED". In this way, the administrator can review the submissions on a case-by-case basis and contact submitters for more information.

 

For example, an answer of “YES” to any of the following questions might mean that the abstract cannot be accepted: “Does your paper contain classified material?” or “Has your paper been presented at any other conferences?” The rejection answer is selected from the codes defined for the DISCLOSURE_ANSWER.

 

The following values are delivered with base:

·       MAYBE

·       YES

·       NO

 

This code is selected for the REJECTION_ANSWER_SUBCODE field in the ABS_CALL_SUBMISSION_TYPE_DISCLOSURE_QUESTION_CONTROL table.

REQ_MULTIPLE_REVIEWERS

Y

This code is not visible to the end user. It is contained in the ABS_REVIEW_PROCESS_BASE table. This table contains review process event records that are copied to call submission types based on setups defined for the call submission type. It is these review process event records that automate the setting of the external and internal status codes on submissions.

 

This identifies whether the organization's review process involves multiple reviewers reviewing a submission. If multiple reviewers are required, additional logic is needed to determine when all of the steps required for a reviewer-related event are completed for a submission.

 

When review process records are created for a submission type within a call, if the organization requires multiple reviewers for each submission as part of the steps in their review process, all review-process events associated with multiple reviewers are copied to the submission type review process table.

 

The following values are delivered with base and cannot be modified or added to:

·       Y

·       N

·       NOT_APPLICABLE

REQ_SEPARATE_LEAD_REVIEW

N/A

This code has not been implemented.

REVIEW_BLIND_RULE

Y

This identifies whether the review process is Double-blind, Single-blind, or Open for this submission type. The system checks the code selected here and displays information to the reviewer and/or author based upon the selection.

·       Double Blind – The author does not know who the reviewer is and the reviewer does not know who the author is.

·       Single Blind – The author does not know who the reviewer is, but the reviewer does know who the author is.

·       Open – The identities of the author and reviewer are known to each other.

 

Currently, this code is not visible to the end user, because the only functionality that has been implemented is for double blind. The system sets this code to Double Blind.

 

The following values are delivered with base and cannot be modified or added to:

·       DOUBLE_BLIND

·       SINGLE_BLIND (not implemented)

·       OPEN (not implemented)

 

This code is set for the REVIEW_BLIND_RULE_CODE field in the ABS_CALL_SUBMISSION_TYPE table.

REVIEW_PROCESS_EVENT

Y

This code visible in the submission history. The review process event is an event that happens in the submission review or selection process that causes either the internal or external status of the submission to change.

 

Any change to the internal or external submission status and the reviewer assignment status causes the system to create a record in the Abs_Submission_Activity table, which includes the event code.

 

This code is set for the REVIEW_PROCESS_EVENT_CODE field in the ABS_SUBMISSION_ACTIVITY table.

REVIEW_TYPE

Y

This identifies whether the review process is using reviewers or review boards. This code is not visible to the end user. The system sets this code to "REVIEWER".

 

The following values are delivered with base and cannot be modified or added to:

·       TERMINATED (not implemented)

·       DO_NOT_INVITE (not implemented)

REVIEWER_APPROVED_FOR

N

This identifies the type of material that the reviewer is approved to review. Also, when a call submission type is defined, the type of material that a reviewer must be approved to review will also be defined using this code. Only reviewers with a current, active term, who have the same REVIEWER_APPROVED_FOR code as defined for the call submission type can be assigned to the call submission type and submissions within that submission type.

 

If an organization wants a reviewer to be able to review any type of material, a REVIEWER_APPROVED_FOR code can be set to "ALL". If an organization wants to be able to assign any current reviewer to a call submission type, the REVIEWER_APPROVED_FOR code for the call submission type can also be set to "ALL". If the REVIEWER_APPROVED_FOR code for a call submission type is NOT set to "ALL", reviewers with an REVIEWER_APPROVED_FOR code of "ALL" can still be assigned to that call submission type.

 

The following values are delivered with base:

·       ABSTRACTS

·       ALL

·       ARTICLES

·       AWARDS

The following values are delivered with base:

·       1_5

·       A_E

·       POOR_EXCELLENT

·       YES_NO

 

It is important that the numeric value associated with each subcode answer value is defined in the Option 1 column in the App_Subcode table, because reviewer scores are averaged. If no numeric value is defined for a scoring answer, then the system will not be able to calculate the average.

 

This code is selected for the SCORING_ANSWER_CODE field in the ABS_CALL_SUBMISSION_TYPE_SCORING_CONTROL table.

SCORING_CRITERION
