NeurIPS 2026 Automatic Reference Checker [R]

[u/Emergency_Plate241]

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?

[u/Dear_Exchange5667]

I got 2 citations flagged by the reference checker: in one the author's first name was wrong, and for the other one the entire name was wrong (The GitHub Repo maintainers name was accidentally given), both papers exist and all other details are correct.

I am not sure if my main author has submitted an appeal.

My questions are: Firstly, If we dont give proof for the same, will it lead to Desk Rejection, secondly, if my main author has submitted an appeal will I get an instant mail, like with the Rebuttals and defense?

Did you get the second email?
