Submission Guidelines

SUBMISSION GUIDELINES

All papers must be submitted in .pdf format through the conference management system at https://softconf.com/ranlp23/ranlp2023stud. The papers should follow the format of the main conference, described at the main RANLP website, Submission Guidelines Section (http://ranlp.org/ranlp2023/index.php/submissions, specifically, the ACL 2017 formats). All papers must have only student authors. Submission with non-student authors will not be considered for review. After eventual acceptance of the paper, the authors could add their supervisor(s) in the Acknowledgments Section. The submissions must specify the student's level (Bachelor-, Master-, or PhD) and the type of submission (Full or Short).

Full Papers must describe original unpublished work of the student in any topic area of the workshop. Full papers are limited to 8 pages for content, with 2 additional pages for references.

Short Papers may describe either work in progress or a research proposal. They may also be in the style of a position paper that surveys and criticizes existing literature. Short papers must include clear directions for future research. Submissions of this type are limited to 6 pages for content, with 2 additional pages for references.

We do not allow additional pages for appendixes, which go over the above mentioned limits. If you have supplementary material, which is not central to the paper, such as:

- link to the software or data,

- pre-processing decisions, model parameters, and other details which allow replication of the experiments

- guidelines, pseudo-code

- proofs or explanations

- lists of features, etc.

you can upload them as a separate attachment using the supplementary material option.

However, these additional materials should not be central to the paper. The paper submission should not rely on such materials, and should be understandable without them. The reviewers will not be asked to check these additional materials.

DOUBLE SUBMISSION

Authors may submit the same paper at several conferences. In this case, they must notify the organisers by filling in the corresponding information in the submission form, as well as notifying the contact organiser by e-mail.

VISA INFORMATION

Those authors, who will require a visa to enter Bulgaria, will have to enter this information at the time of submission and contact us immediately to request an invitation letter at 2023-stud@ranlp.org.

REVIEWING PROCEDURE

The reviewing of the papers will be double-blind, so the submissions should not contain author information. Papers should not contain references such as “We previously showed at Doe (2015) …” but rather “Doe (2015) showed that…”. Non anonymous papers will be rejected.

Each submission will be reviewed by at least 2 reviewers from the Programme Committee, which features experienced researchers from all areas of NLP. The final decisions will be made based on their reviews.
