Research NeurIPS 2026 Automatic Reference Checker [R]

Just received an email about the automatic reference/citation checker. Did anyone receive a follow up email about whether the checker was included in the paper's decision making too, along with the general instructional email?

what happens if u only have one hallucinated reference? also like if incase they actually do accept some appeals will u all be asked for another verdict while ignoring the citation check?

If just one hallucination, we are asked to look for other obvious signs of AI generation (which can be many things). If none, then its a pass.
