WHAT MOVES SCORES

Rebuttals matter — when they bring evidence.

In an analysis of ICLR 2025, about 23% of reviews increased after the rebuttal and about 1% decreased. Evidence-backed clarifications were linked to increases; generic defenses were not.

How this is calculated

Ratings and decisions come from public ICLR 2026 OpenReview data (19,474 submissions with reviews, 14,175 with a final decision). We group papers by mean rating in 0.5-wide bands and report how many in each band were accepted. This describes past outcomes, not a prediction for your paper: area chairs weigh review content, confidence and discussion, not just the mean. Your ratings are processed in your browser and never sent to scime.

During the ICLR 2027 review season, the score distribution is read from public OpenReview reviews at most every 6 hours. Only counts are kept: no titles, authors or review text. Until ICLR 2027 reviews are public, or if they cannot be read, the page shows ICLR 2026.
