Use when reasoning about how COLM reviews a paper — the OpenReview pipeline from late-March submission through the May review release, the May-June rebuttal window, July decisions, reciprocal-reviewing obligations, the LLM-use rules for reviewers, and how a three-edition-old venue's norms differ from mature conferences.

# COLM Review Process

COLM runs a compact, single-cycle-per-year pipeline on OpenReview, and — because the
venue is three editions old — its reviewing culture is still visibly under
construction. Understanding both the posted mechanics and the young-venue dynamics
is what lets authors time their effort correctly.

## The 2026 pipeline (verified 2026-07-08)

| Phase | 2026 dates | Author-side reality |
|---|---|---|
| Abstract deadline | March 26 | Drives bidding and reviewer matching |
| Full paper deadline | March 31 | Submission freezes |
| Review writing | April - mid-May | Silence; nothing actionable |
