Submission Details
CHiPSAL 2025 invites the submission of long papers of up to eight pages and short papers of up to four pages. These page limits only apply to the main body of the paper. At the end of the paper, after the main body but before the references, papers need to include a mandatory section discussing the limitations of the work and, optionally, a section discussing ethical considerations. Papers can include unlimited pages of references and an unlimited appendix. Authors must follow the two-column format of *ACL conferences.
COLING 2025 adopts the ACL Ethics Policy.
Submissions will only be accepted in PDF format, with optional supplementary materials such as software and data. Deviations from the provided templates will result in rejection without review.
The review process will be double-blind. Reviewers will not see authors, authors will not see reviewers. Reviews and submissions will not be made publicly visible.
Anonymity Period
CHiPSAL 2025 will follow the ACL Anonymity Policy. As a result, no anonymity period will be required, although authors are still cautioned against extensive advertising. The submissions themselves must still be fully anonymized.
Multiple Submission Policy
Papers which are submitted to CHiPSAL 2025 cannot be under review for other conferences or journals at the same time. In addition, we will not consider any paper that overlaps significantly in content or results with papers that will be (or have been) published elsewhere. Submissions that violate these requirements will be desk rejected.
