On Strategyproof Conference Peer Review

Understand

We consider peer review in a conference setting where there is typically an overlap between the set of reviewers and the set of authors.

• This overlap can incentivize strategic reviews to influence the final ranking of one's own papers.
• In this work, we address this problem through the lens of social choice, and present a theoretical framework for strategyproof and efficient peer review.
• We first present and analyze an algorithm for reviewer-assignment and aggregation that guarantees strategyproofness and a natural efficiency property called unanimity, when the authorship graph satisfies a simple property.
