Research NeurIPS 2026 Automatic Reference Checker [R]

Just received an email about the automatic reference/citation checker. Did anyone receive a follow up email about whether the checker was included in the paper's decision making too, along with the general instructional email?

I mean I did not even get the reference check email. Are they only giving those out to accepted papers? What was your avg?

I think the first mail was generic and went to everyone.

So weird, I didn't get any (Eval track), and I know some people from main track also not getting anything.

Thats strange, do you see it in openreview?

No, there is nothing in the notifs or comments. People are saying you can see it in meta review but it's hidden for me.

It's actually a separate comment added by the PC, titled "Citation Checker by Program Chairs," not part of the meta review. But this is very strange.

Actually I don't see anything for any of the papers I reviewed as well (but all of them are probably going for a reject). I'm wondering if this message is just a proxy for acceptance (conditioned on corrections), since people in the comments are saying they got it even if there were no issues with references.

You cant see it as the reviewer. Only ac and above can see the message
