FAQ Question

When you submit a paper to a conference, the submission system may request your Semantic Scholar ID. A Semantic Scholar ID is used solely to help conference organizers assign reviewers to your paper by a) detecting conflict of interest based on co-author relationships and b) computating a matching score between a reviewer and a submission's topic based on the reviewer's publication history. A Semantic Scholar ID is optional if you have not published any previous papers.

To find your Semantic Scholar ID:

1. Find your author page using the search bar on www.semanticscholar.org.
   • Search by author name: Enter the name you publisher under. In the search results select the author tile that includes the majority of your papers. Note: To expand the tile section, select Show All Authors.
   • Search by paper title: Enter your paper's title. In the search results click your hyperlinked name in the author list. Note: If your name is not yet hyperlinked to an author page, contact us.
2. On your author page, your Semantic Scholar ID is the numerical string at the end of the URL. Example: For www.semanticscholar.org/author/1741101, the Semantic Scholar ID is 1741101.
