# Eccv Submission > Use when auditing an ECCV submission for the two-step registration-then-paper deadline chain, the 14-page LNCS single-column limit, CET (not AoE) cutoffs, the trailing supplementary deadline, double-blind rules, the four-page dual-submission definition, the social-media embargo, and reviewer-duty exposure before upload. - Skill: `thedixitjain/eccv-submission` (Agent Skill) - Install (CLI): `npx skillmds add thedixitjain/eccv-submission` - Raw SKILL.md: https://api.skillmd.com/api/skills/thedixitjain/eccv-submission/raw - Safety review: pending - Works with: Claude Code, Claude.ai, OpenAI Codex - Category: Research & Search - Author: thedixitjain (https://skillmd.com/u/thedixitjain) - Updated: 2026-09-08 - Page: https://skillmd.com/skills/thedixitjain/eccv-submission --- # ECCV Submission Use this to run the final audit on an ECCV upload. The 2026 window has closed (paper deadline March 5, 2026), so treat every number below as a 2026 anchor for post-mortems and 2028 planning, and reopen the next cycle's Dates and Submission Policies pages before quoting anything as current. ## The 2026 deadline chain (verified 2026-07-08) ECCV runs a two-step front door with a trailing supplement — three separate cutoffs, and the clock was **CET**, not AoE: | Step | 2026 date | Trap it creates | |---|---|---| | Paper registration on OpenReview | February 26, 2026 (profiles completable to March 2, 11pm CET) | No registration record, no paper slot a week later | | Full paper PDF | March 5, 2026, 11pm CET | Teams planning in AoE lose up to a day; no extensions were offered | | Supplementary material | March 12, 2026 | The paper freezes first; the supplement cannot repair it | Aggregators disagree by one day on the paper deadline (March 5 vs March 6) because of timezone conversion — another reason to read the official Dates page in CET. ## Format gate - LNCS single-column, **14 pages including figures and tables**; pages beyond 14 may contain only cited references. - The 2026 author kit stated the template changed after 2024 — a recycled ECCV 2024 `.cls` is a compliance risk, not a convenience. - Single-column LNCS absorbs figures very differently from a two-column draft: full-width figures are cheap, side-by-side panels are not. Budget pages in the real template from the first draft. - Submission platform: OpenReview, group `thecvf.com/ECCV/2026/Conference`. ## Policy gate - **Dual submission**: ECCV 2026 defined a "publication" as any peer-reviewed, accepted written work longer than four pages excluding references; arXiv preprints and technical reports did not count. Violations meant rejection and a report to the other venue. - **arXiv**: posting is not an anonymity violation, but the submission must not cite the authors' own public codebase. - **Embargo**: papers publicly identified as ECCV submissions during the review embargo faced summary rejection — the media rule bans naming the venue, not discussing the work. - **Reviewer duty**: all authors were expected to be willing to review; an author whose assigned reviews were late or "highly irresponsible" (including LLM-written) risked desk rejection of *all* their submissions. ## Pre-upload sweep ```text □ Registration record exists for this exact title/author set (Feb deadline) □ PDF built from the current-cycle author kit, 14 pages + refs only □ CET deadline entered in the team calendar, not AoE □ No self-identifying codebase links, acknowledgements, or grant strings □ Dual-submission attestation true under the 4-page definition □ Nobody on the author list has an unresolved reviewing assignment □ Supplement plan for the +7-day deadline drafted before the paper freeze ``` ## Severity ladder | Failure | 2026 consequence | |---|---| | Missed registration step | Cannot submit at all | | Page 15 contains a figure caption | Desk rejection | | Venue named on social media during embargo | Summary rejection | | Duplicate submission under the 4-page rule | Rejection plus report to the sibling venue | | Co-author's irresponsible review | Desk rejection of every paper they are on | The last row is the distinctly ECCV-2026 hazard: your submission's fate is coupled to your co-authors' reviewing behavior, so confirm each co-author's reviewer status during the audit, not after decisions. ## Missed-window arithmetic Because ECCV is biennial, a slipped March deadline costs two years at this venue. The realistic reroutes from a March miss: BMVC (spring deadline), WACV (summer deadline), CVPR (November deadline), ICCV (next odd-year March). Route with `eccv-workflow` rather than rushing a broken upload. ## Output format ```text [ECCV upload verdict] go / fix first / reroute [Deadline-chain status] [Format violations] [Policy violations] [Ordered fixes] ``` --- **Source:** [`brycewang-stanford/Awesome-Journal-Skills`](https://github.com/brycewang-stanford/Awesome-Journal-Skills) → `ECCV-Skills/skills/eccv-submission/SKILL.md`
