ClinicalNLP Paper Guidelines

Please follow the paper submission guidelines (long papers) of the ClinicalNLP workshop and ACL formatting guidelines, including:

• Submissions should be anonymous and must not include any identifying information about the authors.

• Papers may have up to eight (8) pages of content. 

• You are allowed unlimited pages for references. Any “Limitations” section or “Ethics Statement” is similar to references; it does not count toward the page limit.

Additional instructions related to the shared task papers: 

• Each participating team can submit one paper describing their approaches and systems for one or more subtasks. The paper should be titled: 

  • TEAM at MEDIQA-OE 2025: Sub-Title

  • TEAM at MEDIQA-WV 2025: Sub-Title

• Submissions must include clear scientific writing, a short overview of the related work, a full description of the developed models and their originality/specificity, description of additional data/models that were used, and a discussion of the results. It is important to describe the details well enough that the system could be replicated. You can report additional experiments and results in your papers, but please make it clear that they were obtained before/after the competition. 

• MEDIQA will follow a double-blind review process, papers must not include authors' names and affiliations. Reporting your team's name, rank, and results is allowed and will not be considered as disclosure of identity. 

• Each team/paper should nominate one author to review other shared task papers. The first author will be added by default.

• OpenReview submission system: https://openreview.net/group?id=clinical-nlp.github.io/Clinical_NLP/2025/Workshop ** The first author must have a profile created at least two weeks before the paper submission deadline. 

• We would expect that most papers will be included in the proceedings. 

• Teams with accepted papers will be invited to present their work at the ClinicalNLP workshop. 

• Code: Publishing your code is encouraged but not required for your paper acceptance. If you are planning to make your GitHub repo public before the publication of your paper, you can cite your shared task paper as follows: Title. Authors. Submitted to ClinicalNLP 2025.
