How to Complete Your OpenReview Profile

To ensure effective paper-reviewer matching and accurate conflict-of-interest detection, all participants in the CVPR 2026 review process must maintain complete and current OpenReview profiles.

Requirements

All authors, reviewers, area chairs, senior area chairs, and program chairs must have completed OpenReview profiles. This is mandatory for CVPR 2026 participation.

Important Notes for Authors

Authors must have OpenReview profiles to be added to paper submissions
No author additions or removals will be accepted after the abstract submission deadline
Incomplete author registration will result in desk rejection

Profile Completeness Requirements

A complete OpenReview profile for CVPR 2026 must include all eight criteria below. Your profile must also be visible to organizers.

To verify visibility: Log out of OpenReview (or use incognito mode) and check how your profile appears to the public.

1. OpenReview ID

Your OpenReview ID is crucial for all communications and submissions.

To find your ID:

Log into OpenReview
Click your profile in the top right corner
Your ID appears in the URL (e.g., ~Yoshitomo_Matsubara1 from https://openreview.net/profile?id=~Yoshitomo_Matsubara1)

2. Name and Current Position

Ensure your name is correct and your current positions are listed. Current positions display automatically when you complete the "Education & Career History" section below.

Note: If you do not have any current affiliations, you can type "Independent Researcher" in the "Position" field.

3. Confirmed Email Address

Requirement: At least one confirmed email address

Process:

Add email addresses to your profile
Check your email for verification messages
Complete verification for each address
Confirmed domains will show "(Confirmed)" labels in your profile

4. Personal Links

Check if your profile exists at https://dblp.org/pers/
If found, add the URL to your OpenReview profile
Import publications by clicking "Add DBLP Papers to Profile".

8. (Recent) Publications

This section should populate automatically if you have:

Imported DBLP papers (Even if your DBLP link is displayed, please click "Add DBLP Papers to Profile" to import your recent publications.)
Published at other OpenReview venues

Your publications should reflect your expertise in areas relevant to CVPR. For interdisciplinary researchers, you can curate which publications are used for reviewer/AC matching through the Expertise Selection tool (see Additional Instructions for Reviewers and Area Chairs below).

For missing publications: If your papers aren't captured by DBLP and don't appear in your profile, manually upload them at OpenReview Archive.

Additional Instructions for Reviewers and Area Chairs

To maximize appropriate paper assignments matching your expertise:

1. Update Expertise Field

Ensure your "Expertise" section (Step 7 above) is current and specific:

Avoid: Generic terms like "computer vision"
Include: Specific subfields matching your research background and interests

2. Complete Expertise Selection in Console

Access path: Reviewers/Area Chairs Console → Reviewers/Area Chairs Tasks

2.1 Paper Inclusion/Exclusion

By default, all your papers are used for affinity matching. You can customize this:

From "Reviewers/Area Chairs Expertise Selection":
