Supplementary material: Additional material that is relevant to the reviewers may be submitted but not as an integral part of the paper.There are two such types of material: appendices, which can be read, and non-readable supplementary materials, data or code. Additional material must be submitted as separate files, and must adhere to the same anonymity guidelines as the main paper. Appendices should be no longer than 2 pages.The paper must be self-contained: it is optional for reviewers to look at the supplementary material. It can be uploaded as up to three separate files: a single appendix file in PDF format, a single .tgz or .zip archive containing software, and/or a single .tgz or .zip archive containing data.
The reviewing process will be blind, except for the demo submissions. The papers must not include the authors’ names and affiliations, neither self-references that reveal the authors’ identity. Please avoid “We previously proved (James, 2023) …”, and use instead citations such as “James previously proved (James 2023)…”. Papers that do not conform with these requirements will be rejected without review.
In order to keep compliance with the ACL anthology we require that submitted papers follow strictlythe ACL-based template files however please note that the RANLP requirements for paper length are different and you need to comply with what is provided on this page.
Templates: LaTeX at Overleaf, LaTeX , MS Office
Given this high standard and the limited number of time slots available to present regular papers, it has been agreed that in the event of a significant number of high-quality submissions, regular papers which do not quite meet the highest grade but receive excellent comments and are deemed worthy of being presented will be accepted as short papers and the authors of these papers will be invited to reduce the length of their paper in order to comply with the guidelines of short papers.
Similarly, if a high number of short papers are also received (and given the limited number of time-slots for short papers in the conference programme), authors whose short papers do not receive high enough scores from the reviewers but nevertheless receive positive comments and are deemed worthy of presentation will be invited to revise their submission as a poster paper and showcase their work in poster sessions, thus ensuring that more authors have the opportunity to present their work.
