Changes Made in the Past 6 Months

Starting May 2025, ARR adopted a new 10-week cycle schedule.

Background: From Oct 2022 to Feb 2025, ARR used 8-week cycles with submission deadlines on the 15th of every second month. After community feedback, the ACL Peer Review Committee recommended a change to 10-week cycles. (See committee report in the adminwiki.)
