ICLR's Ban on Authors with Zero Accepted Papers Matters More Than the 20-Limit
dhadfieldmenell · x · 2026-08-02
Regarding the recent debate over capping paper submissions at 20 per author, commentators argue the focus is misplaced.
Cited data reveals that last year someone submitted 54 papers to ICLR (only 2 accepted), and over 100 individuals submitted 20+ papers. The more consequential policy is actually limiting submissions from authors who have never had a paper accepted, which significantly reduces reviewing load but introduces potential gatekeeping downsides.
