Abstract

Research into Reviewer Assignment Problem (RAP) is still in its early stage but there is great world-wide interest, as the foregoing process of peer-review which is the brickwork of science authentication. The RAP approach can be divided into three phases: identifying assignment procedure, computing the matching degree between manuscripts and reviewers, and optimizing the assignment so as to achieve the given objectives. Methodologies for addressing the above three phases have been developed from a variety of research disciplines, including information retrieval, artificial intelligent, operations research, etc. This survey is not only to cover variations of RAP that have appeared in the literature, but also to identify the practical challenge and current progress for developing intelligent RAP systems.
