abstract = {The Shadow Program Committee (PC) is an
initiative/program that provides an opportunity to
Early-Career Researchers (ECRs), i.e., PhD students,
postdocs, new faculty members, and industry
practitioners, who have not been in a PC, to learn
first-hand about the peer-review process of the
technical track at Software Engineering (SE)
conferences. This program aims to train the next
generation of PC members as well as to allow ECRs to
be recognized and embedded in the research community.
By participating in this program, ECRs will have a
great chance i) to gain experience about the
reviewing process including the restrictions and
ethical standards of the academic peer-review
process; ii) to be mentored by senior researchers on
how to write a good review; and iii) to create a
network with other ECRs and senior researchers (i.e.,
Shadow PC advisors). The Shadow PC program was first
introduced to the SE research community at the Mining
Software Repositories (MSR) conference in 2021. The
program was led by Patanamon Thongtanunam and Ayushi
Rastogi (Shadow PC Co-chairs) with support from
Shadow PC Advisor Co-Chairs (Foutse Khomh and Serge
Demeyer), PC Co-Chairs of the technical track
(Meiyappan Nagappan and Kelly Blincoe), and the
General Chair of the conference, Gregorio Robles. To
promote and facilitate the Shadow PC program at SE
conferences in the future, this report provides
details about the process and a reflection on the
Shadow PC program during MSR2021. The presentation
slides and video are also available online at
