Policies worth checking twice
- Diamond open access: free to read and free to publish.
- No page limit, but authors are strongly encouraged to be concise, with a compelling case in the first 12–14 pages.
- Double-blind review: authors must anonymize submissions and avoid identifying themselves or their institution.
- Artifact evaluation is mandatory for Solution and Tools/Benchmark papers and proceeds in parallel with paper review.
- Open peer review: reviews are publicly available and reviewers are named alongside published papers.
- One-shot revision model: authors receive a clear list of required changes; if addressed in good faith by the next deadline, the paper is accepted.
- Reviews are guaranteed within 6 weeks of submission.
- Papers are publicly viewable on OpenReview upon submission; authors requiring secrecy must avoid this.
