ICLR 2026 Reviewer Guide (LLM disclosure and responsibility policy)

Summary

ICLR 2026 mandates that reviewers disclose LLM use via a dedicated review-form field, assigns reviewers full responsibility for LLM-generated content in their reviews including anything construable as plagiarism or misconduct, and makes non-disclosure grounds for desk-rejecting the reviewer's OWN submissions. The strongest enforcement coupling among the 2026 venues, and a useful contrast to ICML's opt-in matching and NeurIPS's randomised experiment. Note: the guide itself does not treat hidden prompts in submissions as a separate misconduct category, contrary to some secondary reporting.
