 1. **Minor formatting issues.** You may find papers with minor formatting issues such as different citation styles. We have decided not to desk-reject these papers and ask you to disregard such minor formatting issues in your reviews (please flag them but do not change your score/evaluation). We will take them into account and ensure the correct style is used if the paper gets accepted.
 
-2. **Supplement.** It is explicitly allowed to append supplementary material to the manuscript (after the citations). As there is a separate submission deadline for supplementary material, it is the authors' responsibility that the supplementary material appended to the manuscript and the one uploaded separately do not conflict in their content. As stated in the [Call for Papers]({{ "call-for-papers.html" | relative_url }}), looking at the supplementary materials is optional to evaluate the submission.

 3. **Links in submission.** Some submissions may contain links (e.g., URL) to external materials such as code. We wish to emphasize that we cannot guarantee the safety of such external links. Our general recommendation is that you not follow such links and simply take it as a statement from the authors that they are ready to make such material available if the paper is accepted. If you decide to access a link, be aware it might reveal that you have consulted the linked site, and thus potentially reveal that you are involved in the reviewing of the paper.
