- Title
Emerging trends: Reviewing the reviewers (again).
- Authors
Church, Kenneth Ward
- Abstract
The ACL-2019 Business meeting ended with a discussion of reviewing. Conferences are experiencing a success catastrophe. They are becoming bigger and bigger, which is not only a sign of success but also a challenge (for reviewing and more). Various proposals for reducing submissions were discussed at the Business meeting. IMHO, the problem is not so much too many submissions, but rather, random reviewing. We cannot afford to do reviewing as badly as we do (because that leads to even more submissions). Negative feedback loops are effective. The reviewing process will improve over time if reviewers teach authors how to write better submissions, and authors teach reviewers how to write more constructive reviews. If you have received a not-ok (unhelpful/offensive) review, please help program committees improve by sharing your not-ok reviews on social media.
