Submission instructions

How to submit.

1. Prepare your manuscript

Use the official LaTeX or Word template (linked below). Manuscripts must adhere to the 8-page limit excluding references. Figures, tables, and acknowledgments count toward the page limit.

2. Submit through OpenReview

Submissions are handled through OpenReview. Create an account if you don't have one, then submit through the AIR 2026 venue page.

3. Review process

Submissions undergo single-blind review by at least three reviewers from the relevant track. Authors will receive reviews and a decision by 15 September 2026.

4. Author rebuttal

Authors will have a one-week window to respond to reviewer concerns before the final decision is made.

5. Camera-ready submission

Accepted papers must be revised based on reviewer feedback and submitted as camera-ready by 15 October 2026. At least one author must register for the conference for the paper to appear in proceedings.

External platforms Like every major academic conference, AIR uses external services for paper submission and review (OpenReview), not this website. The website is purely informational.
