@lelecao said in ICML 2025 Review Results are Coming! Fair or a Total Disaster? π€―:
Just heard this from a fellow researcher whoβs reviewing for ICML 2025:
"... They keep enforcing mandatory reviews for authors, ... The review process has gotten way too complicated - each paper requires filling out over ten different sections. Itβs already unpaid labor, and now it feels like theyβre squeezing reviewers dry. Honestly, this kind of over-engineered reform is making things worse, not better. Review quality is only going to keep declining if it keeps going this way.β
Yikes. Anyone else feeling or hearing the same?
Peer review should stay unpaid as I know. Payments may cause great biases and unfairness though people love money including both you and me. What are other ways for simplification?
