A call for reviewers is sent out to the HERA membership each year. Reviewers are selected based on their expertise and assigned proposals that are in their area of interest and expertise. Proposals are sent to three peer reviewers without any author information. Peer reviewers make one of four determinations.

Accept, with or without revisions

Type Change Accept, with a change to a different type of presentation (symposium, session, poster)

Conditional Accept, invite the presenters to revise their description to address specific concerns before a final decision is reached
