Review Comments for Program Chair -- what to write? I am preparing some reviews of conference contributions. The online review management asks me to grade the assigned papers, add comments for the authors and comments for the program chair. I cannot leave any field blank -- so I am wondering what comments I should give to the chair? To my knowledge, comments to the chair include suspected or actual cases of plagiarism.

Is there anything else, a chair might expect to read from me, the reviewer?

Should I give them a short version of my comments to the authors?


The conference homepage and the reviewer guidelines do not give any hints.
Thank you for your input!
There is no point why you should fill anything into this field, unless you actually have some confidential comments that should not be part of the comments to the authors.
You can fill the field in a boilerplate manner, by using a text fragment such as: &quot;I do not have any additional comments beyond those to the authors.&quot;
