Key Points

  • A Reddit thread was started ahead of the upcoming SIGIR 2026 results to discuss expected review outcomes and community experiences.
  • The submitter reports that all reviewed papers they handled (4 full papers and 6 short papers) were rejected, suggesting an especially competitive year.
  • The post frames the discussion as a place for researchers to share review feedback, cope with rejection outcomes, and compare expectations versus eventual results.
  • The article does not provide specific technical findings; it focuses on the review process and the perceived difficulty of acceptance.
  • Since results are not yet released, the main “signal” is community sentiment about likely selectivity rather than new research announcements.

SIGIR 2026 results will be released soon, so I’m opening this thread to discuss reviews and outcomes.

Unfortunately, all the papers I reviewed (4 full papers and 6 short papers) were rejected. It seems like this year has been particularly tough for everyone.
