ICML 2027 Caps Submissions at 20, Ties Authorship to Reviewing Duty
Gravitist · reddit · 2026-11-14
ICML 2027's Call for Papers introduces a two-stage review process to combat submission explosion: area chairs decide whether a paper gets full review, and first-stage rejections must be confirmed by a senior area chair.
New rules include: a 20-submission cap per person, each paper must nominate a reciprocal reviewer from its author list (max 6 papers per reviewer), and anyone with 3+ submissions must serve on the program committee — non-compliant papers face desk rejection.
The biggest change: each author can have at most one paper with no eligible reciprocal reviewer, so repeatedly co-authoring with people who can't review (undergrads, interns, outsiders) burns your one free pass.
The poster calls it a reasonable fix for runaway reviewer load, worrying only that quick first-stage cuts might miss good papers.
