Papercall

Papercall.io is a nice conference management system that allows you to put out a call for papers and manage the entire review process. This ruby-gem uses the Papercall API to fetch all the submitted papers and do some analysis.

Examples of the type of stats available are:

• Number of papers in different states
• Number of active reviewers
• Number of submitted papers without any feedback
• Number of papers missing reviews

Add this line to your application's Gemfile:

gem 'papercall'

And then execute:

$ bundle

Or install it yourself as:

$ gem install papercall

The following code will fetch all the submissions from your event and print a summary of stats:

require 'papercall'

Papercall.configure do |config|
   config.API_KEY = "<your api key>"
end
Papercall.fetch(:from_papercall, :submitted, :accepted, :rejected, :waitlist, :declined)
Papercall.summary

The Papercall gem also allows you to fetch individual states, or just the ones you care about:

Papercall.configure do |config|
   config.API_KEY = "<your api key>"
end
Papercall.fetch(:from_papercall, :submitted, :accepted)

or

Papercall.configure do |config|
   config.API_KEY = "<your api key>"
end
Papercall.fetch(:from_papercall, :rejected, :declined, :waitelist)

The order does not matter.

You can also use this shortcut if you want to fetch all:

Papercall.configure do |config|
   config.API_KEY = "<your api key>"
end
Papercall.fetch(:from_papercall, :all)

You can configure the following attributes:

• API key
• Turning output on or off (default is on)
• Input file - used for reading from submissions from file (default: submissions.json)
• Number of threads - number of parallel threads used to fetch ratings and feedback (default 150)

Example:

Papercall.configure do |config|
  config.API_KEY = "<your api key>"
  config.output = false
  config.threads = 200
  config.input_file = "my_subscription.txt"
end
