In the rapidly evolving landscape of AI for Science, impressive demos are common. But the gap between a generated draft and a peer-reviewed acceptance is vast. At PaperGuru, we measure success by one metric: peer-reviewed publications in production.
Today, we are proud to share that in our first production quarter, PaperGuru-assisted manuscripts have secured 10 formal acceptances across five top-tier venues in machine learning, software engineering, and engineering informatics — with 30+ additional manuscripts currently under active review at NeurIPS 2026, CCS 2026, and venue-specific extensions.
The Trophy Case: Diamond, Platinum, and Gold Venues
Our platform is designed for researchers targeting the most rigorous venues in their fields. Each badge in the trophy case corresponds to a peer-reviewed publication — Diamond marks CCF-A flagships, Platinum marks top-tier specialized journals, and Gold marks emerging proceedings:
- FSE 2026 (ACM · CCF-A · Diamond): 5 papers accepted. This includes a sweep of three Industry & Viz Research (IVR) track papers and two poster contributions in a single submission cycle.
- ICML 2026 (CCF-A · ML Flagship · Diamond): 1 long paper accepted to the main proceedings after triple-blind review.
- ACM TOSEM 2026 (CCF-A · Diamond): 2 journal articles accepted (currently under publication embargo).
- AEI 2026 (Elsevier · SCI Q1 · Platinum): 1 minor revision returned and accepted in Advanced Engineering Informatics.
- ICoGB 2026 (Civil Engineering · Gold): 1 cross-disciplinary green-building paper accepted to proceedings.
(Note: To protect double-blind anonymity, author identities, paper IDs, and exact titles are redacted on our public tracker, but all metadata is verifiable upon request.)
Acceptance, on the Record — Redacted but Real
Every entry in the trophy case is backed by an authentic notification screenshot. Author identities, paper IDs, and titles are blurred for double-blind compliance, but venue, track, and acceptance status remain fully visible — and the full metadata is verifiable on request.

From Submission to Citation: The Timeline
Ordered by notification date, the recent track record tells a consistent story — month after month, PaperGuru-assisted manuscripts are clearing peer review across software engineering, machine learning, and adjacent disciplines, with a robust pipeline already moving toward NeurIPS 2026 and CCS 2026.

The Pipeline: 30+ Manuscripts Under Review
Acceptance is a lagging indicator. The leading indicator of PaperGuru's utility is the volume of high-quality research currently moving through the peer-review pipeline.
As of this week, there are over 30 PaperGuru-assisted manuscripts under active review. This includes approximately 20 submissions to NeurIPS 2026 and 10 submissions to CCS 2026, plus venue-specific extensions in preparation.
AI as a Research Studio, Not a Replacement
These results validate our core philosophy: AI should not replace the researcher. Instead, it should act as an agentic research studio that eliminates the friction of formatting, citation verification, and structural drafting.
By automating the mechanics of academic writing, PaperGuru allows authors to focus entirely on the science. The intellectual contribution remains solely yours; we just help your best ideas survive peer review.
