Traditionally, the papers are submitted to the Paper Plaza conference management system and the review request is sent by the associate editor to the reviewers. Once the review request is confirmed, the paper’s quality is evaluated, and the review is submitted.

Now, let us assume that the reviewer is an approved SR for the YRP, which runs separately from Paper Plaza. In that case, the SR logins to the YRP website, and then our program begins:

• SR chooses a JR from the pool of applicants by searching keywords
• SR sends the paper by e-mail to the JR
• SR mentors the JR throughout the process (by providing guidelines, corrections, etc.)
• SR uploads the final review (revised by the senior member) to the Paper Plaza by the review deadline, as carried out traditionally (indicating the YRP involvement towards the Associate Editor)

To facilitate such a mentor–mentee relationship, YRP

• provides the JR with enough (starting) material to enhance his/her reviewing skills (e.g., by providing documents, webinars, etc.),
• provides the senior member with tools to search for the JR by using the keywords, assign the paper and communicate with the JR,
• applies safeguards to protect the review’s confidentiality.
