25 submissions per author invites volume over thoughtful research
A 25-paper submission cap per author at CVPR sends the wrong signal in an era where AI can mass-produce marginal work. It practically invites researchers to flood the system with quantity over quality, hoping a few slip through. Limiting first-author submissions to 2-3 would change the calculus entirely. It forces genuine investment in each paper's idea and execution. It also eases reviewer load dramatically.

Streamlining Peer Review: ACL Introduces Reviewer-Linked Submission Model
ACL's new Sustainable Reviewing Policy is a direct answer to a problem many of us feel: submission numbers are outpacing the people qualified to review them. The core proposal makes sense. Each paper should bring its own reviewer, or risk a lottery for leftover capacity. That is not harsh; it is practical. The caps of 20 total submissions and 5 first-author papers per cycle are generous limits that still encourage serious work.
