# IEEE S&P Review Process

Use this to model what happens to an S&P submission after upload and where
author effort still moves the outcome. The structural constant across recent
cycles is a **round structure inside each cycle** ending in a three-way
decision; the dates below are the verified Cycle 2 timetable for S&P 2027
(sp2027.ieee-security.org/cfpapers.html, checked 2026-07-08).

## Rounds inside a cycle

| Stage | 2027 Cycle 2 date | What actually happens |
|---|---|---|
| Submission closes | Nov 17, 2026 | Record frozen; REC screening begins where flagged |
| First round | — | A subset of the PC reads; weakest papers cut |
