ICYMI, here's the latest post, where Co-EiC Nihar Shah asked authors of papers to be desk rejected about their own submissions. They couldn't answer his questions! blog.tmlr.org/2026/asking-au…

Asking Authors About Their Own Papers

An Editor-in-Chief invited the authors of ten submissions headed for desk rejection to discuss their papers; most could not answer basic or technical questions about their own work.

TMLR has faced a deluge of submissions, necessitating stricter desk rejection policies due to limited reviewer capacity Co-EiC Nihar Shah reached out to authors of 10 papers slated for desk reject. Could they answer questions about their *own* submission? medium.com/@TmlrOrg/asking-a…

Spoilers: all 10 ended up being desk rejected. - 1 paper withdrawn - 1 author was too busy for a call - 1 author no-showed - Authors of 3 papers couldn't answer basic qs - Authors of 3 papers could, but not technical qs - 1 author answered all qs, but paper had a major flaw

Starting September 1, 2026, TMLR will no longer be considering survey papers for review. This is in part due to limited reviewer resources and significant required labour for reviewing surveys, as well as the evolving role of surveys in our field.

TMLR has been facing an significant uptick in the number of submissions since the start of the year. This is placing an extreme burden on our amazing team of reviewers and action editors. To ease this burden, TMLR will be implementing submission quotas, effective July 1. 1/n

Quotas follow the generalized harmonic quota rule. It's a bit tough to describe succinctly. Each individual has a budget starting Jan 1, partially spent on each submission. Cost of a submission depends on its # of authors. All authors must have enough budget to submit. 2/n

TMLR's 2025 annual report! The word of the year is growth: whether it's our number of submissions, published papers, or reviewers, pretty much everything has increased ~50%. EXCEPT: our review period, which is still shorter than NeurICMLR (91 vs 126 days) Read on for more! 1/n

Our number of submissions per month has increased from ~150 per month in 2024, to > 250 per month in 2025. Some unusual behaviour due to our December pause, but early 2026 numbers are very strong! 2/n

The end of 2025 marks the end of Hugo Larochelle's term as (Founding co-) Editor-in-chief of TMLR. It is an understatement to say that he was indispensable to making TMLR what it is today. Huge thanks to @hugo_larochelle for everything he's done!

Now, all three founders of TMLR (Hugo Larochelle, Kyunghyun Cho, and Raia Hadsell) have completed their service (though they still guide us via the advisory board). The initiative is in the hands of the community now. Let's make them proud!
