[R] ACL ARR review desk rejected

r/MachineLearning

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 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.
