ACL implements new policy to manage submission volume and reviewer capacity

By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

The Association for Computational Linguistics (ACL) is implementing a new policy to manage an increasing volume of submissions. Under this proposal, each submission must be accompanied by a qualified reviewer, or it will be entered into a lottery for remaining capacity. Additionally, authors will be limited to a total of 20 submissions per cycle, with a cap of 5 for first-author submissions. This policy aims to ensure that submissions are matched with available reviewer expertise and to maintain the sustainability of the review process. AI
