To create a profile, go to . Enter your full name as you would like it to appear in publications. A common format is: First Last
By checking the confirmation box, existing profiles with your name will be listed.
Then, take one of the following actions, depending on whether there is a pre-created account, you already have a partial or complete OpenReview Profile, or you are signing up for the first time.
If a Claim Profile option appears, this means that there is a pre-created profile in OpenReview with your name. These are often associated with DBLP urls, and if you believe an account should belong to you, click the Claim Profile button. Enter your email, click claim, and enter a password, then proceed to the Profile Registration step.
Contact support if: you no longer have access to an email associated with the profile you need to claim, such as a past institution.
Existing active accounts will show up with the 'Reset Password' option, and the email domains associated with the account will be displayed. If you believe one of these is your profile, click 'Reset Password', enter your email address and click 'Reset Password' again to send a password reset email.
If no existing profiles belong to you and you would like to create a new one, you can fill in your email address in the text field next to the ‘Sign Up’ option and click the 'Sign Up' button. We recommend that you sign up with your institutional (university, company, or organization) email.
If you sign up with a public domain or an email domain that is not included in our institution list you will see a warning:
After typing your email you will then be prompted to enter a new password and send a confirmation email. Clicking the link in the confirmation email will bring you to the registration page.
If you have claimed an inactive profile, resent an activation link, or created a new profile, you will receive an email with the subject 'OpenReview Signup Confirmation'. Follow the link in this email to complete your profile registration. Profile registration is a required step in order to have an active OpenReview Profile.
Providing as complete information as possible, especially an institutional email address and valid personal homepage, will help your account be activated quickly.
A valid homepage is a website that shows your name, affiliation, and email that you used to register for OpenReview. This could be a Google Scholar profile, personal webpage, GitHub, institutional profile page, or other professional homepage.
Relation not found in the dropdown menu: If none of the existing relations are appropriate, you may type in a custom relationship to the textbox.
Homepage duplication: If you get an error that one of your links can't be added, it is either in the wrong format or already added to another account. Check that there are no exiting or claimable accounts with your email, and if you still don't recognize the account listed in the error, contact OpenReview Support (info@openreview.net).
After clicking ‘Register for OpenReview’, your profile will either be activated immediately or sent to moderation. Moderation can take up to two weeks, but the support team reviews moderation regularly, and will follow up with additional actions necessary.
If there is a profile created with your name, but you didn't finish the activation process, you will see this option. Enter your email address and click ‘Send Activation Link’, you will receive an email with a link that will bring you to the OpenReview (Step 2).
If you do not receive an activation email, refer to:
