This venue
The official tmlr.sty is required. Default is double-blind; layout/font changes can be rejected without review.
Versus JMLR: TMLR emphasizes timely open review—compare community habit and cycle time.
Length
No conference page cap. Length should match the claim; unusually long main text (excluding appendices) often slows review.
Review
Double-blind on OpenReview. Non-anonymous PDFs can skip review. After accept use [accepted]; for arXiv use [preprint].
Typesetting
article + official tmlr.sty / tmlr.bst (author–year). Do not change margins or fonts. Broader-impact statements follow the TMLR code of conduct.
Before you write

Official pages
