After serving as the GRSI General Chair for a second year, I would like to share some feedback on the Graphics Replicability Stamp Initiative (replicabilitystamp.org).
First and foremost, I extend my deepest gratitude to all the Evaluation Committee members and external reviewers for their dedication to advancing the replicability of computer graphics research. Your contributions are the cornerstone of this GRSI's success. The Evaluation Committee currently consists of 50 regular reviewers and 37 external reviewers.
In 2024, we achieved a new milestone for GRSI: 88 papers were accepted (and counting), while 12 were rejected (4 still pending). Detailed statistics are available on the live statistics webpage (https://www.replicabilitystamp.org/statistics.html).
This achievement can be attributed to several factors:
- The inclusion of a new paper venue: ACM SIGGRAPH Conference Track papers are now eligible, with 14 papers accepted in 2024.
- An increase in submissions from Computers & Graphics and IEEE Transactions on Visualization and Computer Graphics.
- A few incentive actions (eg., SMI Best Paper Awards be granted only to GRSI-recognized replicable papers.
Regarding our workflow, we continued our partnership in 2024 with Software Heritage for the long-term archiving of replicable code (https://www.softwareheritage.org). The source code of 381 GRSI-accepted papers is now indexed and preserved by Software Heritage.
As submission numbers grow, we anticipate updating the GRSI workflow. More details will follow in early 2025. This evolution provides an excellent opportunity to involve more people in GRSI’s organization. If you are interested in contributing, please do not hesitate to contact me.

After one year of service as GRSI General Chair, it is time for me to give some feedback about the Graphics Replicability Stamp Initiative (replicabilitystamp.org).
First of all, I would like to thank all the Evaluation Committee members and external reviewers for their commitment to the replicability of computer graphics papers. Without your support to the initiative, nothing would have been possible. It is a very impactful community driven effort with strong support from the main computer graphics journals.
Let me share with you a few GRSI news:
- Since Sept. 2022, 56 submissions have been received (43 accepted, 4 rejected --mostly inactive authors or unmatched requirements-- and 9 are still being evaluated). From the beginning of the GRSI, 270 papers have been awarded so far in ACM TOG, Wiley CGF, Elsevier C&G or IEEE TVCG. If interested, we have set up a live statistics web page (including per journal distribution): https://www.replicabilitystamp.org/statistics.html (note that even if we do accept CAGD submissions, Elsevier is now using CodeOcean to endorse reproducible papers).
- Since spring 2023, GRSI has been partnering with Software Heritage (https://www.softwareheritage.org) for the long term archiving and indexing of GRSI accepted source code(the swh-logo.png icons). If you're interested, you can refer to the blog post at https://www.softwareheritage.org/2023/05/26/replicability-stamp-initiative/
- A twitter account (@graphics_stamp) has been set up to notify GRSI accepted paper+code (the future of this platform is a bit unclear).
- Few minor edits on the main page layout. Internally, the GRSI internal system has been slightly updated to fix issues we have faced during this period (kudos to our Technical Manager, Eric Lombardi, CNRS). Thanks again to the previous GRSI General Chairs (Marco Attene and Daniele Panozzo) for their help and highly valuable scripts and material.
If you have any suggestion, question or comment, please feel free to reach me out. If you want to be involved in the GRSI organization, please contact me as well.
Sincerely yours,
David Coeurjolly
GRSI General Chair
