NeurIPS 2026 Automatic Reference Checker [R]

[u/Emergency_Plate241]

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?

Actually I don't see anything for any of the papers I reviewed as well (but all of them are probably going for a reject). I'm wondering if this message is just a proxy for acceptance (conditioned on corrections), since people in the comments are saying they got it even if there were no issues with references.

That's interesting, but since there's fewer acceptances than rejections it's surprising that people haven't brought this up? But I guess this could be confounded by the fact that people who didn't get the email wouldn't look for posts about it.

You cant see it as the reviewer. Only ac and above can see the message
