An author of a submission cannot access their own paper, what is the problem?
The author must make sure that the email address associated with the submission is added to their profile and confirmed.
What should I do if my question is not answered here?
The best way to get help with a specific issue is to contact the program chairs or organizers of the venue you are participating in. Contact info can usually be found on the venue's OpenReview page.
For general inquiries, you can contact the OpenReview team by emailing [email protected] or use the feedback form linked in the website's footer. We are most responsive from 9AM - 5PM EST Monday through Friday. With the exception of urgent issues, requests made on weekends or US holidays can expect to receive a response on the next business day.
Will Reviewers be Notified of their Assignments?
Reviewers will see their assigned papers in their Reviewer console and in their Task list. Depending on what method you used to assign Reviewers to papers, they may have already been notified of their assignments:
Manual Assignment from the Program Chair Console
If you assigned reviewers manually using the dropdown in the Program Chair console, they would have received an email for each assignment.
Automatic Assignment Deployed through the Edge Browser
If you deployed an assignment configuration from the edge browser, Reviewers would not have received a notification of their assignments.
Manual Assignment through the Edge Browser
If you use the "Assign" button to add a Reviewer to a paper after having deployed assignments, the Reviewer will receive a notification of their new assignment.
What is the max file size for uploads?
The max file size for uploads is 100 MB.
What field types are supported in the forms?
Depending on the API version that your venue is using, there are different type of fields that can be defined:
When will I be able to withdraw my submission?
For Authors
The timeline for submission withdrawals is determined by the Program Chairs of each venue. Therefore, there is not a single overarching OpenReview withdrawal policy. If you have questions about when in a venue workflow you will be able to withdraw your submission, you should reach out to the Program Chairs of that venue directly.
Why are the "rating" and "confidence" fields in my PC Console wrong?
If you removed the rating or confidence fields from your Official Review form, the PC console will show an average rating and/or confidence of 0 for each paper. If you replaced them with custom values, you can customize your PC console to show the average of those values instead.
From your venue request form, click .
Select which field you want to be used in place of rating and/or confidence. It must be in the "Additional Review Form Options" field. The options reviewers can select for that field must follow the format "number: description", for example "1: Very Poor".
What should I do if I find a vulnerability in OpenReview?
A vulnerability is a defect (bug) in the system that compromises the integrity of the application or its data. If you found one, please contact us at as soon as possible so that it can be fixed. Please do NOT post about the vulnerability elsewhere.
For Program Chairs
Authors are able to withdraw their paper at any time after the submission deadline or after Post Submission Stage has been run. You can optionally restrict the withdrawal window from your venue request form. You can also use the venue request form to configure the visibility of withdrawn and desk-rejected papers, as well as the identities of their authors.
Enter the field name for the "Review Rating Field Name" (or "Review Confidence Field Name"). It must match the case as it is entered in Additional Review Form Options.
OpenReview’s goal is to provide scientific communication to the entire global community. Initially OpenReview was not available to users in Iran, Cuba, Syria, and several other countries because our cloud service provider blocked access as a simple approach to comply with United States economic sanctions and trade laws.
Recently the OpenReview staff has done extra work to make OpenReview available in all countries, including those above. In order to comply with relevant laws, OpenReview must guarantee that none of our registered users appear in the Office of Foreign Assets Control of the U.S. Department of the Treasury (OFAC) SDN list. We primarily accomplish this by looking for first-last-name matches in the list. When there is a name match, we ask for additional information that would disambiguate the OpenReview user from the person on the SDN list.
If you were notified that your profile has been limited, this means that the name on your profile matches that of a person on the SDN list. While in a limited state, you can log in to OpenReview, edit your profile, and view the same amount of data as before, but you will be unable to author any notes on the OpenReview system. This means you will be prevented from performing most common actions, including submitting to venues or posting reviews, meta-reviews, or comments. In order to reactivate your profile, you will need to do the following:
Log in to OpenReview at https://openreview.net/login
Navigate to your Profile at https://openreview.net/profile
Click the Edit button.
Find the field where you can enter your year of birth, and enter the information.
Click Save at the bottom of the page.
OpenReview will routinely check for SDN matches, and if your birth year has been updated, your profile will return to active. Note that this change will not be immediate. If you believe you have been waiting longer than expected and your profile has not been reactivated, you can reach out to [email protected] to request that your profile be updated.
