The Shadow TPC has absolutely no influence on the paper selection process, it is a training for PhD students and junior faculty members. Here you can find information on what the Shadow TPC is, how it relates to the official TPC and more. For authors, opting-in for Shadow TPC review has the benefit of receiving additional reviews for their papers, and you help training the next generation of researchers!
