Instructions for Authors for Camera-ready Final Versions of ACL-02 Student Research Workshop Papers
These instructions are only for authors of the papers accepted to the ACL-02 Student Research Workshop.- Authors must print the Copyright Transfer Agreement, complete it and return it along with their final camera-ready copies to the address given below.
- The maximum length of a paper is 6
pages. Use US-Letter size paper. (If you have significant
hardship printing on US-Letter size paper, please send mail to
acl02-student@CoLi.Uni-SB.DE) You MUST send us three hardcopies of
your paper, printed single-sided. Electronic versions are not an
acceptable substitute for the hard copies.
Formatting instuctions:
Center the title of the manuscript along with authors' names and their complete addresses at the top of the first page. Generally print all text, including titles and figures, in two-column format where each column is 3.15in by 9in and there is a 0.2in space between the two columns. Exceptions to the two-column format include the title and author information at the top of the first page and any full-width figures or tables. Text should be centered on each page. On US-Letter paper, this roughly means leaving 1in margins on left and right sides of each page as well as a 1in margin on the top and the bottom of each page. Type single spaced. Print on only one side of the page. Indent when starting a new paragraph, except the paragraph under a section heading. Use 11 points Times Roman for text, 14 to 16 points for headings and title. Do not print page numbers. Instead, please number the pages clearly on the reverse side, in pencil.All style files for the submission of the final version are available at http://www.cs.ualberta.ca/~lindek/acl02/style. This includes our LaTeX style file acl2002.sty which implements most of the requirements. It is intended for use with the acl.bst BibTeX bibliography style. An MS Word document template (acl2002.dot) is also available. Be warned that use of these files on some systems may produce incorrect results. Therefore, verify that the margins and font size of your output conform to the guidelines. If they do not, you are responsible for making the appropriate adjustments.
