ABSTRACTS AND PAPER SUBMISSION INFORMATION
We will be accepting submissions online via START
(https://www.softconf.com/emnlp2019/papers/). The abstract submission
deadline for both long and short papers is May 15, 2019, and the paper
submission deadline for long and short papers is May 21, 2019.
EMNLP-IJCNLP 2019 uses a double-blind review process. Each submission
will be reviewed by at least three program committee members.
Long papers
EMNLP-IJCNLP 2019 long paper submissions must describe substantial,
original, completed and unpublished work. Wherever appropriate, concrete
evaluation and analysis should be included. Each submission will be
reviewed by at least three program committee members. Each long paper
submission consists of a paper of up to eight (8) pages of content, plus
unlimited pages for references ; final versions of long papers will be
given one additional page (up to nine pages with unlimited pages for
references) so that reviewers’ comments can be taken into account.
Short papers
EMNLP-IJCNLP 2019 also solicits short papers. Short paper submissions
must describe original and unpublished work. While a short paper is not
a shortened long paper, the characteristics of short papers include : a
small, focused contribution ; work in progress ; a negative result ; an
opinion piece ; an interesting application nugget. Each short paper
submission consists of up to four (4) pages of content, plus unlimited
pages for references ; final versions of short papers will be given one
additional page (up to five pages in the proceedings and unlimited pages
for references) so that reviewers’ comments can be taken into
account. Each short paper submission will be reviewed by at least three
program committee members.
IMPORTANT : Anonymity Period
EMNLP-IJCNLP 2019 adopts ACL’s new policies for submission, review, and
citation
(https://www.aclweb.org/portal/content/new-policies-submission-review-and-citation). Submissions
that violate any of these policies will be rejected without review.
Most importantly, the policies define an anonymity period, which starts
on April 21, 2019 (11:59pm PDT).
* You may not make a non-anonymized version of your paper available to
the general community (for example, by posting it on your home page
or submitting it to arXiv) during the anonymity period. However,
you may take such an action before the anonymity period begins, even
if the paper actually becomes public after the anonymity period
begins (for example, because arXiv makes papers public one or two
days after receiving them).
* You may not update a non-anonymized version during the anonymity
period, and we ask you not to advertise it on social media or take
other actions that would further compromise double-blind reviewing
during the anonymity period.
* You may make an anonymized version of your paper available, even
during the anonymity period (for example, on OpenReview
(https://openreview.net/group?id=OpenReview.net/Anonymous_Preprint)).
* During the anonymity period, you may not update a non-anonymized
version, advertise an anonymized or non-anonymized version on social
media, or take any other action that would compromise double-blind
reviewing during the anonymity period.
For the background of the new policies, refer to the online version
(https://www.aclweb.org/portal/content/new-policies-submission-review-and-citation).
Instructions for Double-Blind Review
To ensure anonymity, submissions and supplementary materials must 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 (1991) previously showed …”. Acknowledgments of funding or
assistance must also be omitted. Submissions should not contain pointers
to supplemental information on the web ; any such material should be
submitted as supplementary materials (see above). Submissions that do
not conform to these requirements will be rejected without
review. Separate author identification information is required as part
of the online submission process.
Multiple Submission Policy
EMNLP-IJCNLP 2019 will not consider any paper that is under review in a
journal or another conference at the time of submission. Neither will
the conference consider any paper that overlaps significantly in content
or results with papers that will be (or have been) published
elsewhere. In addition, authors may not submit the paper elsewhere
during EMNLP-IJCNLP 2019’s review period. Authors submitting more than
one paper to EMNLP-IJCNLP 2019 must ensure that the submissions do not
overlap significantly ()25%) with each other in content or results.
Formatting Requirements
Both long and short papers must follow the EMNLP-IJCNLP 2019 two-column
format. Please do not modify these style files, or use templates
designed for other conferences. Submissions that do not conform to the
required styles, including paper size, margin width, and font size
restrictions, will be rejected without review.
Links to EMNLP-IJCNLP 2019 paper templates will follow soon.
Optional Supplementary Materials : Appendices, Software and Data
Each EMNLP-IJCNLP 2019 submission can be accompanied by a single PDF
appendix, one one .tgz or .zip archive containing software, and one .tgz
or .zip archive containing data. EMNLP-IJCNLP 2019 encourages the
submission of these supplementary materials to improve the
reproducibility of results, and to enable authors to provide additional
information that does not fit in the paper. For example, preprocessing
decisions, model parameters, feature templates, lengthy proofs or
derivations, pseudocode, sample system inputs/outputs, and other details
that are necessary for the exact replication of the work described in
the paper can be put into the appendix. However, the paper submissions
need to remain fully self-contained, as these supplementary materials
are completely optional, and reviewers are not even asked to review or
download them. If the pseudo-code or derivations or model specifications
are an important part of the contribution, or if they are important for
the reviewers to assess the technical correctness of the work, they
should be a part of the main paper, and not appear in the
appendix. Supplementary materials need to be fully anonymized to
preserve the double-blind reviewing policy.
PRESENTATION REQUIREMENT
All accepted papers must be presented at the conference in order to
appear in the proceedings. At least one author of each accepted paper
must register for EMNLP-IJCNLP 2019. Accepted papers will be presented
orally or as a poster (at the discretion of the program chairs based on
the nature rather than the quality of the work). There will be no
distinction in the proceedings between papers presented orally or as
posters.
FURTHER INFORMATION
The conference website will continue to be updated with information on
workshops, tutorials, the conference venue, traveling, etc.
