ACL Rolling Review
ACL Rolling Review (ARR) is a peer review platform for the Association for Computational Linguistics. It followed 8-week review cycles from October 2022 through February 2025, and after community feedback and a recommendation from the ACL Peer Review Committee, moved to 10-week cycles beginning with the May 2025 cycle. Under the new schedule, ARR generally runs five cycles per year, with submission deadlines set individually for each cycle rather than fixed to a particular day of the month.
