publications - Duties of a shepherd in a CS conference



I reviewed a paper, which was then accepted as "presentation-only" with a possibility to submit a revised version to be re-reviewed. Upon acceptance, I was asked to be a shepherd for the paper.



  1. What are the typical duties of a shepherd?

  2. Which duties might seem shepherd's duties, but, in fact, are not?

  3. Does the shepherd get any academic credit?

  4. Do paper authors get to know the shepherd's name?


EDIT: This question is partially (i.e., not fully) covered by Thanking a "shepherd" in acknowledgments. Here, we ask for a more detailed, canonical description. In particular, feel free to add more items to this question by means of editing.
