A peer review platform for the Association for Computational Linguistics
ACL Rolling Review (ARR) is a centralized reviewing service targeting top-tier conferences under the Association for Computational Linguistics.
For further information about submitting, see the page for Authors.
ARR began with a 2020 proposal. As of mid-2023, it has evolved with experience and feedback from the community. In 2024, the ACL, EACL, NAACL, and EMNLP main conferences all used ARR as the sole submission system. The upcoming participating venues are listed at dates and venues. The ARR team continues to welcome input on the design of the review process. See also the ARR changelog and future plans.

We want to highlight two important changes we are implementing for the February cycle: (1) a minimum review load requirement for those volunteer reviewers who are nominated for multiple submissions, and (2) the possibility of nominating an experienced colleague as a reviewing volunteer for a submission.

The Association for Computational Linguistics Rolling Review (ARR) seeks a workflow manager to support the regular operations of ARR bi-monthly reviewing cycles. This position sits at the heart of the peer-review infrastructure that handles our major ACL conferences. The goal of this role is to support the customization of the infrastructure used by ARR, which currently is OpenReview.

The Association for Computational Linguistics Rolling Review (ARR) is seeking an editorial assistant to support the regular operations of ARR bi-monthly reviewing cycles. This position sits at the heart of the peer-review team that handles our major ACL conferences. The goal of this role is to support the editors-in-chief by managing some of the standard tasks involved in the peer-review process, such as supporting the communication between EiCs, the Senior Area Chairs, and the rest of the research community.

The ACL Rolling Review (ARR) initiative is seeking nominations (self-nominations are permitted and encouraged), for several co-Editors-in-Chief (henceforth “EiCs”, with the “co-” understood) positions, serving a 2.5-year term1. Successful candidates should be able to start at the end of summer or as early as possible.
The last 6 months are not considered as full on EiCs but more of a transitions period to support training of new EiCs. ↩

[tldr:] ARR is expanding its data collection to further insights. Authors can now consent to donate their paper reviews and meta data during paper submission, reviewers and ACs can consent to donate their data for the cycle. Consider donating your peer-review data! You can always revisit this decision as needed.

As we continue to add incremental changes to our review process, and OpenReview (OR) infrastructure, we want to highlight an important change that will be implemented for the upcoming April cycle: a reviewing workload requirement.
