Timeline (last 90 days)
Desk Reject means that a paper is directly rejected by an editor, area chair (AC) or program committee before entering formal peer review, usually without detailed review comments.
Violating the double-blind policy (such as promoting a paper prominently on a preprint platform in advance or leaving identifiable information in the paper) is one of the common triggers for desk rejection.
Against the backdrop of surging submission volumes, ACs have been given the authority to screen and remove papers before review begins, and desk rejection is a product of this authority.
