Guides researchers through the ACM RecSys peer review lifecycle, from double-blind evaluation standards to rebuttal strategy and Senior PC decision dynamics.

The ACM RecSys Review Process skill equips recommender systems researchers with strategic guidance for navigating the mutually-anonymous peer review workflow at ACM RecSys conferences. It breaks down the evaluation criteria heavily scrutinized by the community—such as baseline tuning rigor, temporal splits, offline versus online evaluation validity, and code reproducibility—while offering actionable frameworks for analyzing reviewer sentiment and crafting high-impact rebuttals that provide Senior PC members with a clear rationale for paper acceptance.
