5. Submission Summary Score Report

Your only options are to download the reports – there is no screen view. The first link – Download Report – gives you a z-score report for all the submissions in that category. The second link – Download Reviewer Report – gives you a report for each reviewer.

7. Submission Summary Report
The Submission Summary report will aggregate the reviewer responses for each question per submission.
