The first part of this document gives the paper submission guideline. The second part gives the submission format for camera ready document.
Part One
Paper Submission For review
Papers should describe original work; they should emphasize completed work rather than intended work, and should indicate clearly the state of completion of the reported results. Wherever appropriate, concrete evaluation results should be included. Submissions will be judged on correctness, originality, technical strength, significance and relevance to the conference, and interest to the attendees.
Submissions presented at the COLING conference should mostly contain new material that has not been presented at any other meeting with publicly available proceedings. Papers that are being submitted in parallel to other conferences or workshops must indicate this on the title page, as must papers that contain significant overlap with previously published work.
Submissions should follow the two-column format of ACL proceedings and should not exceed eight (8) pages for content and not exceed nine pages(9) inclusive of references. You can use the template for camera ready version. Papers that exceed this page limit will be automatically rejected by the paper submission software. You can also use the LaTeX style files (tarred file)or Microsoft Word document template supplied in Part Two for camera ready version( as regular paper for now more than 8 pages for content and no more than 9 inclusive of references unless otherwise specified by your track/workshop). A description of the required format will be made available to those who are unable to make direct use of these style files. We reserve the right to reject submissions that do not conform to these styles, including font size restrictions.
As reviewing will be blind, the paper should not include the authors' names and affiliations. Furthermore, self-references that reveal the author's identity, e.g., "We previously showed (Smith, 1991) ...", should be avoided. Instead, use citations such as "Smith previously showed (Smith, 1991) ...". Papers that do not conform to these requirements will be rejected without review.
Submission will be electronic. The only accepted format for submitted papers is Adobe PDF. The papers must be submitted no later than April 22, 2010 23:59 PDT (GMT - 7hours).. Papers submitted after that time will not be reviewed. No extensions will be granted.
Questions regarding the submission procedure should be directed to the email: coling10pc@lists.stanford.edu.
Part Two
Paper submission for Camera Ready Version
This page provides links to style information and templates for Coling 2010 regular, poster and demo papers. All final camera-ready copy must conform to the format described here, and templates are provided to make this easy to achieve.
Any questions regarding formatting and use of these style guidelines, or any other aspect of Coling 2010 publication, may be addressed directly to the Publications Chairs, Lu Qin (csluqin@comp.polyu.edu.hk) or Zhao Tiejun( tjzhao@mtlab.hit.edu.cn).
These guidelines may also be used for other kinds of papers (eg workshop papers). Authors should consult the relevant call for papers web pages for any specific requirements.
To be supplied later.
Authors are strongly recommended to use the style files provided here. All manuscripts should look like this sample PDF file, which also contains the detailed formatting specification.
It is very important to specify A4 format paper, and not to include page numbers. It is also important to know that you must check your pdf output as the software on different systems may have different behaviors given the same styles files.
Deadline for Submission of final camera-ready copy is July 2, 2010 at 23:59 PDT (GMT - 7hours).
Page length must not exceed 9 pages in total and the content (excluding references) must not exceed 8 pages for regular papers unless specified otherwise.
There is no copyright transfer process when you submit the final version of your accepted paper. By default, by submitting your camera ready version, you are bound by the copyright rules of the Tsinghua University Press.
It is your responsibility to inform all co-authors (and if applicable, your and their employers) to this arrangement.
