Use when explaining or strategizing around OOPSLA's two-round review machinery — double-anonymous multi-stage reviewing, the four outcomes (Accept, Minor Revision, Major Revision, Reject), reviewer continuity across rounds, round-hopping a Major Revision, and how acceptance flows into a PACMPL issue and the SPLASH talk.

# OOPSLA Review Process

OOPSLA reviews like a journal wearing a conference's clock. Two submission
rounds per volume (2026: October 10, 2025 and March 17, 2026), a Review
Committee whose chairs act as PACMPL Associate Editors (2026: Anders Møller
and Işıl Dillig), multi-stage double-anonymous reviewing, an author-response
window per round, and a four-way decision instead of a binary one. Round 1 of
2026 accepted 75 of 227 submissions into PACMPL Vol. 10, Issue OOPSLA1 —
roughly a third, but treat any single round's rate as one data point, not a
planning constant.
