My ACL ARR submission was desk rejected because I had two versions of the same paper in the same cycle. This happened because I mistakenly submitted twice instead of updating the original submission.
About a week ago, I emailed ACL support asking how to withdraw the earlier version and keep only the latest one. I wasn’t aware of the rule about duplicate submissions, and I was waiting for their response when I received the desk rejection.
Given this situation, what would you recommend I do next? Is there any way to appeal or clarify the mistake, or should I just wait for the next cycle?
Thanks in advance for any advice.
