The ACL has released policies for submission, review and citation. More information is here. ACL SRW 2020 will adhere to these policies and guidelines.
Submissions should:
Authors may present preliminary versions of their work from other venues that are not refereed or not archival (e.g. course reports, theses, non-archival workshops, or preprint servers such as arXiv.org). Authors should list all such previous presentations in the submission form.
The first author of the papers **MUST BE** a student.
Paper drafts for pre-submission mentoring should be sent in the PDF format before January 17, 2020.
Pre-submission mentoring is not anonymous. The mentor will not review the final submission. Papers sent for pre-submission mentoring but not submitted via the electronic system (see the instructions below) by March 6, 2020, will not be reviewed.
The complete list of important dates are the main page.
For details on mentoring procedure see the mentoring page.
All papers consist of up to five (5) pages of content, plus unlimited references. Upon acceptance, papers will be given six (6) content pages in the proceedings. Authors are encouraged to use this additional page to address reviewer's comments in their final versions. Submissions must conform to the specifications of ACL 2020 call for papers regarding multiple submissions and preparing papers for the double-blind review process.
Paper submissions must use the official ACL 2020 style templates.
Style sheets (Latex, Word) are available here: http://acl2020.org/downloads/acl2020-templates.zip
The Overleaf template is also available here: https://www.overleaf.com/latex/templates/acl-2020-proceedings-template/zsrkcwjptpcd.
All submissions must be in PDF format and must conform to the official style guidelines, which are contained in these template files.
Please submit using the START conference system: https://www.softconf.com/acl2020/SRW/.
Papers that have been or will be submitted to other meetings or publications must indicate this at submission time. Authors of papers accepted for presentation at ACL SRW 2020 must notify the program chairs whether the paper will be presented.
All accepted papers must be presented at the workshop in order for them to appear in the proceedings. We will not accept for publication or presentation papers that overlap significantly in content or results with papers that will be (or have been) published elsewhere.
Double submission to the ACL SRW and the main ACL conference/other ACL workshops is prohibited.
In the case of two different submissions, the authors must ensure that these submissions do not overlap significantly (> 75%) with each other in content or results.
The reviewing of the papers will be double-blind, so submission should not contain author information or self-identifying citations.
Reviewing will be managed by the Student Workshop Co-Chairs and a team of reviewers on the Program Committee. Each submission will be matched with a mixed panel of student and senior researchers for review. The final acceptance decision will be based on the results of the review.
