by ADMIN 85 views

As a program chair for a conference on OpenReview, managing paper submissions and corresponding author information can be a daunting task. One of the essential tasks is to export the emails of all authors of the paper submissions. In this article, we will guide you through the process of exporting author emails on OpenReview.

Understanding OpenReview's Author Information

OpenReview is a platform designed for hosting peer review and discussion forums for conferences and workshops. It provides a robust set of features for managing paper submissions, including author information. However, the platform does not provide a direct export option for author emails. This is where we come in – to provide a step-by-step guide on how to export author emails on OpenReview.

Prerequisites

Before we begin, ensure that you have the necessary permissions to access the author information on OpenReview. As a program chair, you should have the required access rights to view and manage author information.

Step 1: Accessing Author Information

To access author information, follow these steps:

  1. Log in to your OpenReview account and navigate to the conference dashboard.
  2. Click on the "Submissions" tab and select the paper submission you want to export author emails for.
  3. Click on the "Authors" tab to view the list of authors associated with the paper submission.

Step 2: Exporting Author Emails

To export author emails, you will need to use OpenReview's API. Don't worry if you're not familiar with APIs – we'll walk you through the process.

  1. Click on the "Settings" icon (represented by a gear icon) on the top right corner of the OpenReview dashboard.
  2. Select "API" from the dropdown menu.
  3. Click on the "Create API Key" button to generate a new API key.
  4. Copy the API key and store it securely – you'll need it later.

Using OpenReview's API to Export Author Emails

Now that you have the API key, you can use OpenReview's API to export author emails. You'll need to use a tool like curl or a programming language like Python to make API calls.

Using curl

Here's an example curl command to export author emails:

curl -X GET \
  https://api.openreview.net/notes?forum=CONFERENCE_ID&author_emails=true \
  -H 'Authorization: Bearer YOUR_API_KEY'

Replace CONFERENCE_ID with the actual ID of your conference and YOUR_API_KEY with the API key you generated earlier.

Using Python

If you prefer to use Python, you can use the requests library to make API calls. Here's an example code snippet:

import requests

api_key = "YOUR_API_KEY"
conference_id = "CONFERENCE_ID"


url = f"https://api.openreview.net/notes?forum={conference_id}&author_emails=true"
headers = "Authorization" f"Bearer {api_key"}


response = requests.get(url, headers=headers)


if response.status_code == 200:
data = response.json()
for note in data["notes"]:
print(note["author"]["emails"])
else:
print(f"Error: {response.status_code}")

Replace YOUR_API_KEY and CONFERENCE_ID with the actual values.

Tips and Variations

  • To export author emails for multiple paper submissions, modify the forum parameter in the API call to include the IDs of the paper submissions.
  • To export author emails for a specific paper submission, modify the forum parameter to include the ID of the paper submission.
  • To export author emails in a specific format (e.g., CSV), modify the Accept header in the API call to include the desired format.
