Conference Management System
RANLP publishes Regular papers 8 pages (with 30 min oral presentation), Short papers 6 pages (with 20 min oral presentation), and Poster/Demo papers 4 pages (with presentation in a poster or demo session). Additional pages are allowed for references only. RANLP 2025 aims to provide early notification of acceptance to authors and presenters who need visa to enter Bulgaria.

Submission Format
The main body includes text, figures and tables. All submissiоns are made electronically as PDF files.
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, 2025) …”, and use instead citations such as “James previously proved (James 2025)…”. 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 strictly the 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: (we use the same templates as the last conference RANLP 2023)
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.
