A Form for Referees in Theoretical Computer Science * Ian Parberry t Department of Computer Science s University of North Texa s July 31, 199 4 1 Introduction The Referee's Form is designed to help referees communicate more clearly with Editors . It is no t intended to replace the formal written report, but is intended as a clear, concise synopsis . The LATEX source file for the form also includes space for the referee to provide his or her formal report , and is available by anonymous ftp . To use it, referees can copy the form and check one respons e in each of the subsections . The first page of the form is for the Editor's eyes only, but the secon d page is intended to be forwarded to the author . The remainder of this manuscript is divided into three major sections . The first, "Installing the Files", describes how to obtain the files needed to use the LATEX source file for the form . The second, "Using the Form", describes the mechanics of filling in the form once you have obtained the necessary files . The third, "Evaluating the Paper", describes the meaning
