sigcomm-review-process

Use when explaining or planning around ACM SIGCOMM peer review — double-blind HotCRP reviewing, the early-reject cut for consensus rejections, the rebuttal for discussion-phase papers, the shepherd-run one-shot revision that ends in accept or reject only, shepherding of accepted papers, and how the outcome space shapes author strategy.

# SIGCOMM Review Process

Use this to reason about review-stage strategy. Reopen the current CFP and submission page
before making process claims; the mechanisms below are the SIGCOMM 2026 rendering and can
change per edition.

## The outcome space is wider than accept/reject

SIGCOMM layers several author-facing stages, and reading which one you are in drives every
subsequent move:

- **Early reject.** Submissions with a consensus to reject are notified before the formal
  date, so authors can redirect the work to another venue sooner. It is a courtesy, not a
  soft accept; there is no reply that reopens it.
