Submission Instructions

• Submission URL: https://openreview.net/group?id=NeurIPS.cc/2025/Workshop/CauScien

• Submission Instructions: The contributed submission format is of a maximum of 4 pages for the main paper, with unlimited pages for references and appendices in the NeurIPS style format containing original and previously unpublished research. We allow an unlimited number of pages for references and appendices, but reviewers are not required to review the supplementary material in the appendices. Accepted submissions will not be archival, but will be published on our website and on OpenReview. Accepted papers will be presented at the workshop as contributed talks and/or posters.

• Concurrent Submissions: We welcome research papers currently under review at archival AI and ML conferences. Submission to this workshop will not break the anonymity or dual submission policies for these conferences. Please note that we do allow the submission of recently published work. However, when selecting papers for oral presentation, preference is given to original works. 

• Double-blind reviews: Submissions will be peer-reviewed by at least 2 reviewers, in addition to a program chair. The reviewing process will be double-blind at the level of the reviewers. As an author, you are responsible for anonymizing your submission. Do not include any authors' names, affiliations, acknowledgements, or any other information that could result in de-anonymization.
