CVPR 2027 submission checklist

CVPR 2027 rules

• ☐Main text fits in 8 pages for review

  Measured on the compiled PDF up to the references. Over-length submissions can be desk-rejected.

• ☐The official CVPR 2027 style file is used, in submission (review) mode

  Submission mode keeps the author names hidden; the camera-ready option shows them.

New for CVPR 2027

• ☐An “LLM Usage Statement” section after the main text, before the references

  Required; papers without it are desk-rejected. Name the LLM or generative AI tools, what they were used for and how much, or write “No LLMs or generative AI tools were used in this work.” It does not count toward the 8 pages.

• ☐The CVPR 2027 submission template

  Papers that do not use it are rejected without review; older kits (for example CVPR 2025) still print a paper ID.

• ☐No tracking, video or project-page links

  Links that expand the paper, track readers or reveal the authors are desk-rejected; put videos and code in the supplementary material.

• ☐No hidden text aimed at LLM reviewers

  Hidden or visible instructions meant to manipulate reviewers or automated tools (prompt injection) are an ethics violation.

• ☐No datasets withdrawn by their creators

  For example DukeMTMC-ReID or MS-Celeb-1M; if you must use one, justify it in detail.

• ☐An IRB and consent statement for user studies

  Say which review board approved or oversaw the study and that consent was obtained, or explain why not.

Anonymity (double-blind review)

• ☐No first-person references to your own prior work

  Write “Smith et al. (2024) showed…”, not “in our previous work”.

• ☐Code and model links are anonymized

  A github.com or huggingface.co link to your account reveals who you are; use an anonymous mirror.

• ☐No acknowledgments or \thanks footnotes

  Funding and affiliation notes identify the authors; add them back for the camera-ready version.

• ☐The PDF has no author metadata or email addresses

  hyperref’s pdfauthor and stray emails survive in the compiled file.

References

• ☐Every \cite key has a bibliography entry

  Missing keys print as [?] in the PDF.

• ☐Each arXiv ID and DOI points to the paper you meant

  Copied BibTeX often carries the ID of a different paper.

• ☐Every cited paper exists, with the right title and authors

  Each entry is looked up on arXiv, DBLP, Crossref and OpenAlex; AI-suggested references are the usual culprit.

Missing items and LaTeX slips

• ☐Every \ref points to an existing \label

  Broken cross-references print as ?? in the PDF.

• ☐No leftover TODO, FIXME or highlighted text

  Reviewers notice; so do area chairs.

• ☐Every figure and table has a caption, a label and a mention in the text

  Unreferenced floats read as unfinished work.

• ☐No unescaped % after a number

  In LaTeX, 41% starts a comment and silently deletes the rest of the line.

• ☐No repeated words, a/an slips or mixed spellings

  Cheap to fix, and they shape a reviewer’s first impression.
