This venue
Open access with no conference-style page cap—best for complete theory and large experiments. For timely conference results, NeurIPS/ICML may fit first.
PDF compiled from LaTeX only. Submit via JMLR’s system plus a cover letter suggesting at least three conflict-free action editors.
Length
No NeurIPS-style cap. Past ~35 pages (including appendices) review slows; past ~50 pages needs a cover-letter justification or it may be desk-rejected.
Review
Journal review, not a conference double-blind pack. Conference extensions must spell out the delta. Prepare the cover letter and AE suggestions.
Typesetting
Use the official unmodified JMLR journal template. Must compile cleanly; page numbers from 1. After acceptance, fill heading, short title, and editor fields as in the example.
