Some paper search results include columns with score graphs. Click on a score
column heading to sort the paper list using that score. Search > View
options changes how scores are sorted. There are five choices:
Counts (default)
Sort by the number of highest scores, then the number of second-highest
scores, then the number of third-highest scores, and so on. To sort a paper
with fewer reviews than others, HotCRP adds phantom reviews with scores just
below the paper’s lowest real score. Also known as Minshall score.
Average
Sort by the average (mean) score.
Median
Sort by the median score.
Variance
Sort by the variance in scores.
Max − min
Sort by the difference between the largest and smallest scores (a good
measure of differences of opinion).
My score
Sort by your score. In the score graphs, your score is highlighted with a
darker colored square.
