Submissions and Reviews
ARR has seen a large number of submissions each cycle. January 2026 saw over 10k submissions and May was over 17k+. This has put strain on the team handling the reviewing process. This problem is partly due to AI-generated papers We are in communication with PEC and in continuous discussions to explore pathways to make this process sustainable. Some of the potential avenues are(1) Submission caps (2) Karma system (developed in a system led by Mausam/ex-ARR EiC) where some credit building based on experience would recognise good science citizenship/good reviewing behaviour as well as balancing the number of submissions.
