##How to Submit Your Paper

New to *ACL venues? No problem. Here’s the whole process, one small step at a time.

  1. Pick your paper type

    Long (8 pages), short (4 pages), or a system paper for a shared task (4 pages). References don’t count.

    Paper types

  2. Write it in the ACL template

    Use the official template as is. Don’t change margins, fonts, or spacing.

  3. Add a Limitations section

    Place it after the conclusion. It’s required, and it doesn’t count toward your pages.

    Formatting guidelines ↗

  4. Make it anonymous

    Remove names and affiliations, cite your own work in the third person, and anonymize code links.

    Anonymity policy ↗

  5. Get OpenReview profiles

    Every author needs one. Do it early; new profiles can take a few days to be approved.

    Sign up ↗

  6. Submit by February 5, 2027

    Upload one PDF on OpenReview before 11:59 PM AoE. The portal opens October 26.
