[Announcements] [RecSys 2026] First Call for Reproducibility Papers

[Noemi Mauro]

Dear Colleagues,

We are pleased to announce the Call for Reproducibility Papers for ACM
RecSys 2026, the leading conference on recommender systems, taking
place September
28 – October 2, 2026, in Minneapolis, Minnesota, USA.


The reproducibility of empirical results is a cornerstone of scientific
research and a prerequisite to ensure continuous progress in our field. ACM
RecSys 2026 therefore strongly encourages submissions that replicate or
analyze prior works in similar or alternative settings or contribute to an
increased level of reproducibility in the future.


Details & submission guidelines can be found here:

https://recsys.acm.org/recsys26/call/#content-tab-1-2-tab


Types of Contributions

We encourage the submission of different types of papers, including:

● Reproducibility and Replicability papers, that analyze prior works in
different contexts, such as across different domains, using different
datasets, or comparing against alternative baselines.

● Resource papers that lay the foundation for future reproducibility, for
example, by introducing new datasets or open-source software frameworks for
evaluating recommender systems.

Note that two paper classes accepted last year — methodology and reflective
works — are no longer included. Papers whose primary contribution is
methodological should be submitted as research papers to the main track. If
you are unsure whether your work fits the reproducibility track, please
contact the track chairs in advance at reproducibility2026 at recsys.acm.org.

Key Deadlines for Reproducibility Track Submission (11:59 pm, AoE):

   -

   Paper Abstracts Due: April 28, 2026
   -

   Papers Due: May 5, 2026
   -

   Paper Notifications: July 9, 2026
   -

   Camera-Ready Due: July 27, 2026

During the review period, the track chairs may contact corresponding
authors with technical questions raised during artifact review. Authors
should look for these e-mails and respond promptly.

We encourage you to submit your latest research on reproducibility to ACM
RecSys 2026. Looking forward to your contributions!


Best regards,
Noemi Mauro and Pan Li
On behalf of the ACM RecSys 2026 Organizing Committee
