We have data. Thanks to great work from Sebastin Santy on our tech team, we now have a regularly updated statistics dashboard for ACL Rolling Review. When you refer to it, please note the last updated date as data for the current cycles may be somewhat delayed. As always, feedback welcome.

One of the initiatives that ARR supports is the ongoing collection of data about peer-review in NLP. Nils Dycke, Ilia Kuznetsov and Iryna Gurevych have been leading an ACL-approved initiative to collect review data on an opt-in basis. They provide a status update and invite discussion here.

As an author, reviewer or action editor for OpenReview, when and how should you declare a conflict of interest?

For the December cycle, ARR will have a slightly modified timeline. Reviews will be released on January 28th given that reviewing started a bit later due to the end of the semester, the overlapping heavy load from November and the holidays. We also wanted to give a bit more time to AEs to be mindful of weekend days.

• December 15th: Submission deadline
• December 16th-24th: Reviewer/AE assignment
• December 24th-28th: SAC/AE paper check and reassignment
• December 29th-January 18th: Reviewing
• January 19th-27th: Meta-reviews and reviewer chasing
• January 28th: Review and meta-review release

We have received several questions about resubmitting to ARR. We have now modified the call for papers to address these questions, which have to do with adding/removing authors, providing responses to reviewers, and requesting new reviewers.

There is no need to withdraw any papers from ARR after reviewing is complete (in fact if you do withdraw your paper from an ARR cycle, we won’t be able to transfer that paper + reviews to any venue you “commit” to). Once you have your reviews, your paper is considered to no longer be under review to ARR.
