stoc-author-response

Use when planning author-side communication for a STOC (ACM Symposium on Theory of Computing) submission, where no standing rebuttal phase exists — covering pre-emptive writing that answers objections in advance, chair-mediated technical clarifications if the PC asks, and the FOCS resubmission letter after a rejection.

# STOC Author Response

Set expectations first: the STOC 2026 Call for Papers announced no author-response
or rebuttal round, and the decision timeline ran directly from the November 4,
2025 deadline to notification on or before February 1, 2026 (checked 2026-07-08).
Historically STOC decisions arrive without authors ever seeing the reviews before
the outcome. Whether any given cycle adds a feedback experiment is a per-year
